Mumbai [Maharashtra]: Veteran actor Govinda and his wife Ssunita Ahuja were recently spotted celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi together, putting to rest rumours of their divorce. The couple addressed ongoing speculations about their marital status and Govinda’s alleged affair, with Ssunita speaking openly about the challenges they have faced.
Ssunita, who has recently launched her YouTube channel, expressed her disappointment over the rumours and criticised those spreading misinformation. “People who spread these rumours must be ashamed after seeing us together and celebrating the festival. The problem is that some members of his family don’t want to see us happy,” she said.
Living arrangements and family dynamics
Ssunita explained that although she and Govinda live in separate homes, they reside opposite each other and maintain regular contact. She shared candidly, “Chi Chi [Govinda] and I have been living in different homes for 15 years, but he keeps coming and going at home. The man who hurts a good woman will never be happy; he will always remain restless. I gave him my entire life from childhood, and even today, I love him so much.”
Ssunita also highlighted the influence of Govinda’s family in the rumours. “They wonder why our family is so happy, especially since their own wives and children have passed away. Govinda doesn’t mix with good people. As I always say, if you stay with bad people, you’ll become like them,” she added.
Strength and children
Despite the speculation, Ssunita emphasised her strength, drawing support from her children Tina Ahuja and Yashvardhan. “Yes, I am upset because I hear these rumours too. But I am very strong because I have my children. Today, I don’t have a friend circle; my children are my friends,” she said.
The couple, who had a love marriage in 1987, have consistently maintained that no one can separate them. Ssunita previously shared in a vlog that she had visited a temple and consulted a pandit, who assured her that “whoever comes in between her and Govinda will not be spared by Mata Rani (Goddess).”
Addressing affair rumours
Regarding allegations of an affair, Ssunita clarified that these reports had upset her but did not affect her bond with Govinda. “We do not live together every day, but we have mutual respect and love. Not everything is for Instagram or the media; our relationship is built on trust and family,” she stated.
By publicly addressing these issues, Govinda and Ssunita have put an end to months of speculation, showing that despite living separately, their marital bond and family values remain strong.
