Bollywood actor and politician Govinda has finally spoken out about the persistent rumours swirling around his personal life. For years, social media has buzzed with claims about his alleged divorce from wife Sunita Ahuja and reports of an affair with a younger actress. Govinda, who recently joined Shiv Sena, has now broken his silence on these matters.
Govinda Terms Rumours a 'Pre-Planned Conspiracy'
In a recent interview with news agency ANI, Govinda described the ongoing rumours as a deliberate plot against him. He called it a "pre-planned conspiracy" designed to harm his reputation and career. The actor expressed deep concern over how these stories are impacting his family and professional life.
Govinda revealed that he believes someone is orchestrating this campaign to isolate him from society. He stated that his films have lost their market appeal as a result, forcing him to abandon several projects. His wife Sunita Ahuja worries constantly about how they will manage their household finances under these circumstances.
Family Concerns and Warnings
The veteran actor specifically addressed his nephew Krushna Abhishek during the interview. Govinda warned Krushna that people might be using him to insult the family. He urged his nephew to be careful and protect the family's reputation. Govinda emphasized that when someone's popularity reaches a certain level, it makes many people nervous—even unexpected individuals.
He mentioned observing similar situations with senior actors in the past. Govinda's primary concern remains the welfare of his children amidst all this controversy. He prays regularly for their protection and well-being.
Sunita Ahuja's Reaction to the Rumours
Govinda shared how his wife Sunita Ahuja responds to the constant speculation about their marriage. He said Sunita gets angry about these rumours because they directly affect him and their family life. The actor stressed that he doesn't want to tarnish the film industry where he has worked for decades, but he believes alertness has become absolutely necessary.
He noted that certain notions are being deliberately created about him. Govinda finds it suspicious that these conspiracies have begun just as he has entered Shiv Sena. He wants people to remember his past works and achievements before speaking against him, and he insists he should not be considered weak.
Govinda's Political Journey
After dominating Bollywood in the 1990s, Govinda ventured into politics. His political career has seen him associated with different parties over the years. He was a member of the Indian National Congress and served as a Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2009. He represented the Mumbai North constituency of Maharashtra in the Lok Sabha after winning the 2004 elections.
In 2024, Govinda returned to politics by joining the Shiv Sena under the Eknath Shinde faction. This move has brought him back into the political spotlight after years away from active politics.
Drawing Parallels with Another Actor
Govinda told ANI that wealth and fame often come with such challenges. He revealed knowing another well-known actor who faced similar conspiracies in the past. While acknowledging he might not be as big as that actor, Govinda finds himself in a comparable situation now.
The actor described himself as a simple man blessed with his mother's blessings. He admitted there has been significant struggle in dealing with these rumours. Govinda continues to pray for divine intervention to save him from this ongoing problem while focusing on his children's welfare above all else.
