Sunita Ahuja has once again made headlines after candidly opening up about her decades-long marriage to Bollywood star Govinda. During the premiere episode of the reality show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa, Sunita made a startling confession, claiming that her husband had “many affairs” over the years but adding that love often requires patience and forgiveness.
The revelation came during a conversation with hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. As Farah read out an old headline that quoted Sunita saying she would want “a son like Govinda, not a husband,” she was asked to explain the statement.
Responding with characteristic honesty, Sunita said, “In love, you have to tolerate everything. Chi Chi had many affairs in his life. Heroes and heroines often go through such things. But after spending so many years with him, I still believe someone should have a son like Govinda.” Her remarks immediately became one of the biggest talking points from the show’s premiere.
Sunita and Govinda’s relationship has long fascinated Bollywood fans. The couple married in 1987 but kept their marriage a secret for nearly two years before making it public after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. They later welcomed their son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, and have remained one of Hindi cinema’s longest-standing couples despite facing repeated rumours about trouble in their marriage.
This is not the first time Sunita has spoken publicly about allegations of infidelity. Over the past year, she has addressed rumours surrounding Govinda’s personal life in multiple interviews, often stressing that relationships are rarely perfect. While her latest comments acknowledge alleged affairs during their marriage, she also suggested that enduring difficult phases was part of her understanding of love and commitment.
Her remarks have triggered mixed reactions on social media. Some viewers praised her honesty and admired her willingness to discuss personal struggles without hesitation. Others questioned whether infidelity should ever be normalised or accepted in a marriage, leading to a wider debate about trust, forgiveness and the expectations placed on long-term relationships.
Notably, Govinda has not publicly responded to Sunita’s latest comments. The veteran actor has generally remained silent whenever speculation about his personal life has surfaced, choosing not to engage with media discussions surrounding his marriage.
Whether Sunita intended to spark controversy or simply share her life experiences, her candid confession has undoubtedly become one of the most talked-about moments of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. As the reality show progresses, viewers will be watching closely to see whether she reveals more about the highs and lows of her nearly four-decade-long marriage to one of Bollywood’s most beloved stars.
