Bollywood actor Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, has opened up about the struggles and realities of being married to a superstar. In a recent interview, Sunita reflected on her long marriage, Govinda’s past mistakes, and the emotional strength it takes to be a star’s wife. She also made a striking confession, saying she wouldn’t want Govinda as her husband in her next life.
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Ssunita said, “Apne aap ko sambhal ke rakhna chahiye. Jawani mein insaan galti karta hai, maine toh kiya hai, Govinda ne bhi kiya hai. Jab aapko certain age ho jaati hai, tab galtiyan karte ho, toh shobha nahi deta. Aur kyun karo, aapke sundar family hai, biwi hai, sundar bachche hain, toh kyun? (You have to keep yourself in check. When a person is young, it’s fine to make mistakes - I’ve made them, and Govinda has made them too. But when you reach a certain age, those mistakes don’t look good on you. And why make them at all when you have a beautiful family, a loving wife, and wonderful children?) ” She explained that while mistakes in youth are understandable, it’s important to value one’s family and responsibilities as one grows
older.
When asked if she ever confronted Govinda about his mistakes, Ssunita revealed that she finds her emotional strength in her children. She shared that she doesn’t have friends outside her family and treats her children like her closest companions.
Talking about her experience as a star’s wife, she said, “See, woh (Govinda) hero hain. Unka main kya bolun, wife log se zyada woh heroines ke saath time bitate hain. It takes you to become a very strong woman to be a star's wife. Aapko dil pathar ka banana padta hai. It took me 38 years of marriage to realise it. Jawani mein pata nahi tha (See, he (Govinda) is a hero - what can I even say? He spends more time with heroines than with his wife. It takes a very strong woman to be a star’s wife; you have to make your heart as hard as stone. It took me 38 years of marriage to realise that - I didn’t understand it when I was young.)”
Ssunita further admitted that while Govinda is a good son and brother, he has not been an ideal husband. “He is a good son, a good brother, but not a good husband,” she said, adding that she would not want him as her partner in the next life.
