Year Sunita Ahuja accused her husband Govinda of having an extramarital affair and even named a newcomer actress, Komal, with whom he claimed the actor was involvedthe Hero No. 1 star has now addressed the claims. Govinda also thanked the newcomer for remaining silent on the matter and said he had “saved” him. He further responded to Sunita’s allegation that he did not help his son Yashvardhan Ahuja make connections in the film industry.
‘The family perceived me as a failure’
Speaking to ANI, Govinda said, “When I left politics, I thought that competition and jealousy could affect my family, especially my children. That’s why I left politics for the sake of my family. I even asked Sajid Nadiadwala to help Yash and he even gave him his cabin to help him learn how films are made. Also, I was not asked much about this at home, and there was a prepared environment at home where I was perceived as not being successful in movie terms.”
He added, “If people start thinking like this about my own family, where will I go? I have at least 18 directors, 19-20 producers, and when God gave me time, I gave my all. Yash will be a better actor than me. Technically he is stronger than me.”
‘I worked with 4 Miss Universe, I never misbehaved with them’
Addressing Sunita’s cheating allegations, Govinda said, “Kab nahi laga aarop mujhpar (When did I not receive this accusation),” he added, “Jo aarop laga raha mere bachpan ka pyar hai? (The accusation is from my childhood love). In matters of love. It never worked properly. Ab jo pyar ho raha hai kisi ke sochne ke mutabik ye budhape ka hai (Now this love, according to someone’s thinking, is of old age.) After a bull has been used all its life, it is sent to the slaughterhouse.”
Govinda highlighted how he has worked with prominent actresses throughout his career but has never misbehaved with them. “I have worked with four superstars, Miss Universe heroines. I have never looked at them. Ek meri heroine aesa nahi keh sakti ki maine tangh kiya ho ya kisi ke liya apshabd keh diya ho (No heroine can say that I misbehaved with them.) “So, to the heroine who comes to my house and is starting her career with my own production, I will never do anything bad to her,” he said.
Govinda admitted that after Sunita’s allegations, newcomers might be hesitant to work with him. “I am grateful to all the artistes and heroines. Meri jo film chali hai that’s why I am grateful to my directors, songs and heroines in films. My mother was a heroine. I never misbehave with any heroine. Now she is taking the name. I have seen it. I don’t like those words. Isiliye mai shama maangta hu meri jo new arrivals hai taki mai cha raha hu sabke saath kaam karu..kahi dar na jaaye ki iske saath kaise kaam karna hai iske production mein kaam hi nahi karenge (I apologize. I want to work with newcomers. They may be afraid to work with me after this and refuse to work with me),” he said.

Govinda also responded to Sunita linking him with upcoming actress Komal and said, “Ye jo naam le rahi Komal, mai dhanyavad deta hu ki jo mai aaj saved hu vo ek bhi shabd bahi Bolti hai vo chup hai itne mein to aaj kal youngsters jo hai kya kya gali dedete hai (The name she takes – Komal – I thank her. I am saved because she does not say a word against anyone. She is calm, otherwise young people are not afraid to insult).”
He added, “I especially want to thank Komal for not saying a wrong word despite being in the news because of this. She is not the kind of person who wants to get fame and attention using these media.” When asked about Sunita’s debut with Ektaa Kapoor’s production house, he said, “This is good, if she sits at home, she will give more interviews.”
