The ongoing marital tension between Govinda and Sunita Ahuja has taken another turn after Sunita claimed that she withdrew her divorce petition because of the actor’s alleged plans to marry actor Komal Rani Swarnkar. Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, has now dismissed the claim, insisting that there is no question of a second marriage and expressing hope that the couple can resolve their differences.

Govinda's manager dismisses Sunita Ahuja's claims

In an interview with India Today, Govinda’s manager expressed shock over Sunita’s claims and said, “I am hearing this from you. Aisa kuch nahi hai aur nahi hoga. Koi doosri shaadi nahi ho rahi (There's nothing like this, nor will it happen. There's no second marriage happening). She is his wife, and there must be something going on in her mind that she made those claims.”

He added that if Govinda were really planning a second marriage, he would have been the one to file for divorce rather than Sunita. He said, “They are both mature people, and while Govinda has never spoken a word against Sunita in public, she has been the one washing dirty linen out. I am sure they both want the best for themselves and their children. We don't know what came over her that she took the decision back, but we can hope that things iron out. It's also for the betterment of the kids, for they really get affected by all this negativity.”

What did Sunita Ahuja say?

During a phone conversation with Rakhi Sawant, Sunita claimed she decided to withdraw her divorce case because Govinda and Komal were allegedly planning to get married. “Maine kal divorce case wapas le liya kyunki woh shaadi karne ke plan me the woh log (I withdrew the divorce case yesterday because they were planning to get married),” Sunita said, explaining why she withdrew the petition.

Govinda and Sunita's marriage

It all started when Govinda and Komal were spotted together at the airport. Following their appearance together, Sunita made strong comments about the actor. Speaking to paparazzi, she called Govinda “Komal's sugar daddy” while questioning their equation. Later, Govinda warned Sunita against defaming him and asked her to “stay in limits” while speaking to the paparazzi. He also claimed that Sunita was backed by a Bollywood gang trying to bring him down.

Govinda and Sunita got married in 1987. In 2024, Sunita filed for divorce, and the petition reportedly cited adultery, cruelty and desertion under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act. After Govinda’s recent remarks, Sunita was seen exiting Mumbai’s Bandra Family Court on August 19, accompanied by her son Yashvardhan.

Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, later confirmed that she had withdrawn the divorce petition she had filed around two years ago. “It has been going on for two years, but it's finally over now. Today, Sunita Ji submitted a petition for withdrawal at the family court in Bandra,” Shashi told HT City.
