Early Life & Love Story-Sunita Ahuja was born in 1967 into a Punjabi family, blending rich traditions with a modern outlook. She first crossed paths with Govinda in the mid-1980s when he was about 21 and she a 15‑year‑old bright young woman. Despite the age difference, their bond grew through heartfelt letters and conversations. Their parents initially disapproved, but love ultimately prevailed — they secretly married on March 11, 1987, keeping the union under wraps to protect Govinda’s budding career.

Family Life & Values-Together, Sunita and Govinda have two children: daughter Tina Ahuja, who ventured into acting with Second Hand Husband, and son Yashvardhan Ahuja, who is pursuing a path behind the camera. The couple recently celebrated nearly four decades of marriage, reaffirming their vows on a television show, marking both their enduring bond and Govinda’s deep family values.
The Star-Wife Experience
Sunita has candidly shared what it’s like being married to a superstar. In an emotional interview, she revealed Govinda wasn’t present during the births of both their children. She said, “Ek hero ki biwi hona, aapko patthar ka dil banana padta hai” — highlighting the emotional resilience required to remain strong behind the scenes. While she lives in an apartment with their children and a personal temple, Govinda prefers staying at their bungalow, often hosting guests late into the night.
Off-Screen Strength & Voice
Sunita is known for her frank, no-nonsense persona. She has dismissed divorce rumors emphatically, stating that Govinda “can’t live without me” and that their relationship is rock-solid. At the same time, she admits to being possessive in love, even comparing herself to Shah Rukh Khan’s intense character in Darr — underscoring her passionate commitment to the relationship.
Secrets & Controversies
Govinda once confessed he had kept his marriage a secret even from co‑star Neelam, admitting he “played dirty” by not revealing he was already married — a revelation that surprised many. Sunita also shared that her father had strongly opposed their marriage and didn’t attend their wedding, which was held in secret due to career concerns.
Their Modern Marriage
After 25 years of marital life, Sunita and Govinda renewed their vows in a grand ceremony, honoring Govinda’s late mother’s wishes. Despite living separately by personal choice, they maintain a strong, affectionate bond — clearly seen in their public appearances, interviews, and celebrations with family.
One fan commented:
“She is just loud and unfiltered… I’d rather watch a reality show with Sunita in it!”
