Actor Govinda has condemned the recent statement given by his wife Sunita Ahuja against their family priest. He shared a video statement on Instagram Stories, in which he spoke in detail about his priest’s expertise and his long relationship with his family.
In the video shared by India Today, he said, “My wife made some inappropriate comments about Pandit Mukesh Shukla during the podcast, and I strongly condemn them. I sincerely apologize. Pandit Mukesh Shukla and his family have stood by me in difficult times, and I have the deepest respect for them.”
What did Sunita say?
Sunita had made her comment on Paras Chhabra’s podcast. He was talking about fraudulent babas when he said, “We have someone like that in our house too!”
Sunita said, “He is Govinda’s priest. He is a fake. He keeps suggesting new rituals and pujas and keeps charging money for them. ‘Get these pujas done,’ and Get this puja done for 2 lakhs 2 lakh)!’ I tell him many times that he should do his own puja because his puja will not benefit Govinda. I don’t believe in giving 2 or 10 lakhs for the so-called rituals.”
She further said, “It is better to wake up early, pray and do your own puja. How can someone else’s donation or hawan help you? I don’t even let others donate on my behalf. I do it myself. I don’t believe in ‘give us’ 2 lakhs, perform this havan and your family will be fine. All are thieves.”
Sunita’s comment on Govinda’s friends and company
Sunita said, “Now Chichi has to lose weight and look good. Her skin has deteriorated. She should take care of herself, that’s my wish. He recently said that I am making three films, but I think the problem is that he is not getting a good team. The circle he sits in is less writers and more idiots. They fool him and give terrible advice. He doesn’t find good people and they don’t like me because I tell the truth. “Everyone keeps filling his ears about me”, and he believes everyone. I want to tell them that if you want to say something, say it to my face, not to them.”
Sunita further said, “It is my heartfelt desire that I want to build an old age home and some shelters for animals. I will make sure that I will do this with my own money. I will not take even a single rupee from Govinda because he will not give me money, but will only give money to his cronies.”
About Govinda and Sunita
The latest tussle between Govinda and his wife comes amid long standing rumors of their separation.
Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s relationship started in the 1990s, long before he became a household name. Sunita, who is related to Govinda through her maternal family, met him when both of them were very young. They got married quietly in March 1987, choosing to keep the ceremony private, at a time when Govinda was venturing into films.
For many years he kept his marriage hidden and revealed it only after the birth of his daughter. They are the parents of two children – daughter Tina Ahuja, who has acted in films, and son Yashvardhan Ahuja, who is currently preparing for his Bollywood debut.
