Sunita Ahuja, the wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, recently shared some candid and surprising insights into their marriage, revealing her concerns about security and trust. In an interview with Hindi Rush, Sunita spoke about her early days with Govinda and how their relationship has evolved over the years.
Early Days and Relationship Dynamics
When Sunita first met Govinda, she had a tomboyish appearance, sporting short hair and wearing skirts. She recalled how Govinda would often jokingly refer to her as a boy due to her unconventional style. Sunita also revealed that she was the one who took the initiative in their relationship, as Govinda was “scared to touch women” at that time. Despite these early awkward moments, their relationship eventually blossomed.
However, Sunita admitted that Govinda is not the most romantic person in real life. Reflecting on this, she remarked, “You never know what people do behind your back. Never trust a man. People change colours like a chameleon.”
Changes in Their Marriage
With 37 years of marriage behind them, Sunita explained how her sense of security in the relationship has changed over time. She used to feel secure when Govinda worked with actresses like Raveena Tandon and Karishma Kapoor. However, she confessed that now, she doesn’t feel the same level of trust. “I used to feel secure earlier in our marriage, but now I don’t,” she said, laughing as she added, “After 60, people even lose their senses.”
Living Separately
The couple’s living situation has also evolved. While they own two homes, Sunita revealed that they now mostly stay in separate houses. Sunita and their children live in an apartment, while Govinda stays in their bungalow, often because he stays late after meetings and social gatherings. “He loves talking and gathers 10 people to chat with them. Whereas I, my son, and my daughter live together, but we hardly talk because I feel if you end up wasting your energy by talking too much,” Sunita explained.
Govinda’s Lack of Romance
Sunita also shared her frustrations with Govinda’s lack of romantic gestures. Despite her desire for spontaneous outings, like eating street food or going on holidays together, Govinda’s work commitments often kept him away. “I have told him that in my next life, he should not be my husband,” Sunita laughed. “He doesn’t go on holiday. I am a person who wants to go out with her husband and eat pani-puri on the streets. He spent too much time working… I don’t recall a single instance when we both went out to watch a movie.”
A Shift in Security and Trust
Reflecting on the changes in her emotional security within the marriage, Sunita seemed to imply that as time has passed, so has the level of certainty she once felt. “Earlier, I felt secure, but now I don’t know,” she said with a sarcastic tone, adding, “After 60, who knows what people do.”
Sunita’s candid interview sheds light on the ups and downs of her long-standing marriage with Govinda. While she acknowledges the challenges and the changes over the years, her revelations hint at a complex relationship marked by evolving feelings of trust and security.
