Veteran Bollywood star Govinda has finally responded to his wife Sunita Ahuja’s allegations that he is having an affair with a struggling actress who is supposedly using him as a “sugar daddy.” The controversy has been dominating entertainment headlines and sparked intense public debate.
Addressing the claims in an interview with ANI, Govinda started by confronting the accusations against him. He said, “Kab nahi laga aarop mujhpar? Jo aarop laga raha mere bachpan ka pyar hai. In the matter of love. It never worked properly. Ab jo pyar ho raha hai kisi ke sochne ke mutabik ye budhape ka hai.” With these words, he dismissed the affair rumours and reiterated that the person making the accusations was his longtime partner, not a stranger aiming to harm him.
Govinda also spoke about his professional conduct, particularly regarding actresses he has worked with throughout his career. He stated, “I have worked with four superstars, Miss Universe (Sushmita Sen) heroine. I have never looked at them. Ek meri heroine aisa nahi keh sakti ki maine tangh kiya ho ya kisi ke liya apshabd keh diya ho.” He emphasized that he respects his co-stars and has never behaved inappropriately on set.
Turning to the industry’s newcomers, Govinda addressed rumours linked to young artists feeling uncomfortable around him. He said, “Isiliye main shama maangta hu meri jo newcomers hai taki mai cha raha hu sabke saath kaam karu. Kahi dar na jaaye ki iske saath kaise kaam karna hai, iske production mein kaam hi nahi karenge.” This was his way of apologising and reassuring emerging actors that they need not fear working with him.
Govinda also mentioned the young woman named by Sunita, Komal, saying, “Ye jo naam le rahi Komal mai dhanyavad deta hu ki jo mai aaj saved hu vo ek bhi shabd nahi bolti hai vo chup hai…” thanking her for staying silent amidst the commotion.
Govinda and Sunita have been married since 1987 and are parents to daughter Tina Ahuja, who debuted in Bollywood in 2015, and son Yashvardhan, who is preparing for his acting debut.
