Govinda hits back at wife Sunita over ‘sugar daddy’ claims
Govinda has finally responded after wife Sunita Ahuja publicly accused him of having an affair with his “Roopa” co-star, Komal Rani Swarnkar. Sunita had reportedly called him a “sugar daddy” in connection with the actress.
The 62-year-old actor addressed his wife’s remarks at length, saying they were actively damaging both his reputation and his career. He pointed out that Sunita had once relied on his help for her own shows during the lockdown period.
Now that he has begun work on a new film, Govinda claimed his wife seems determined to make sure he loses public goodwill or faces professional setbacks. He said her comments felt deliberately aimed at hurting his business.
The actor also spoke more broadly about people from modest backgrounds entering the film industry. He said such newcomers shouldn’t be humiliated to the point where they feel scared enough to walk away from their careers entirely.
Addressing the age-gap criticism surrounding his pairing with Komal, Govinda noted that several senior actors have worked alongside younger co-stars while still appearing youthful on screen. He suggested his wife seemed unwilling to accept that he could still look youthful himself.
He further claimed that a specific group was actively working to damage his public image. Govinda appealed directly to Sunita, asking her to show some restraint and stop making public statements about the matter.
He also criticised his wife for using abusive language in her recent comments. Govinda warned that young fans following her online could end up imitating that kind of behaviour if it continues.
The controversy comes as Govinda and Komal have been making joint public appearances recently while promoting “Roopa.” The two were first spotted together at Mumbai airport, months after Sunita had hinted that the woman allegedly involved with her husband was a newcomer to the industry.
They were seen together again on Friday, reigniting public interest in the ongoing dispute. As of now, Sunita has not issued a fresh public response to her husband’s latest remarks.
