‘Govinda was howling’: Sunita Ahuja recalls filmy labour room scene when she asked doctor to save their son Yashvardhan

Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja recalled the dramatic birth of her son Yashvardhan Ahuja where she thought she wouldn't survive.

Bollywood star Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja may have been together for nearly four decades, but their love story has always been nothing short of a film script. The couple secretly tied the knot in 1987 and managed to keep their marriage hidden from the public eye for years. Over time, they have faced their share of ups and downs, but Sunita recently opened up about one of the most emotional and filmy moments of their lives, the birth of their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja.

Sunita Ahuja on dramatic birth of son Yashvardhan Ahuja

Sunita Ahuja and Govinda's son Yashvardhan Ahuja was born in 1997.

In an interview with Eat Travel Repeat, When asked about a real-life filmy moment from her life, Sunita said, “When I was delivering my son Yash, I was 100 kgs. I had gained a lot of weight. I thought I would die. Looking at me, Chi Chi (Govinda) started to cry.”

She added that she told the doctor to save her child instead of her, “During those days, sex-detection tests were legal. We knew we were having a son. I dramatically told the doctor, ‘Doctor, my husband wants a son. Please save the child, it is okay if I die in the process.’ This made Govinda cry even more. He was howling. It was an extremely filmy moment for all of us.”

Sunita and Govinda tied the knot in an intimate ceremony and kept their marriage a secret until the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja, in 1989. The couple welcomed their second child, son Yashvardhan, almost a decade later in 1997. While Tina has already made her Bollywood debut, Yashvardhan is all set to make his acting debut with Sai Rajesh's yet-untitled film.

Meanwhile, Sunita has recently launched her own vlog channel on YouTube, Simply Sunita Ahuja, which went live on Friday, 15 August. The channel already has 161K subscribers. She appears to be inspired by filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan, who shares weekly vlogs with her cook, Dilip.
