Is Govinda divorcing wife Sunita Ahuja? Close family friend puts rumours to rest

Speculation on Govinda’s marriage to Sunita Ahuja has been erupting intermittently in recent years. Now, there are reports that Sunita has filed for divorce, citing 'cruelty and adultery'. While everyone who is even remotely connected to the couple has been contributing their two-bit to the rumours, this writer got in touch with a very close friend of Govinda, who had this to say, “They have been married for 38 years. Like all couples, they have their ups and downs. Tell me, which couple doesn’t have their differences?"Our source went on to add, "Yes, they(Govinda-Sunita) have their fights. Yes, violent fights. I have been a first-hand witness to some of them. But they will never separate permanently. After fights, Govinda shifts to his other bungalow and returns when things cool down."About the strong current rumours of a permanent breach, the friend asserts, “Govinda would never leave Sunita. He will be finished without her. She anchors him, controls his moods. Without her, he will be lost. Even if matters have gone to court—and I am not saying, they have—the couple will sort out their differences, as they always do.”The divorce buzz was back in the headlines after documents accessed by Hauterrfly revealed that Sunita allegedly filed for divorce from Govinda in the Bandra Family Court on December 5, 2024. She filed the petition under Section 13 (1)(i), (ia), and (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, citing adultery, cruelty, and desertion as grounds.The report stated that the court had summoned the actor, but he only responded after a notice to show cause was issued in May 2025. It went on to claim that since June 2025, the couple has been undergoing court-mandated counselling. While Sunita has been attending the hearings in person, it remains unclear whether Govinda has been joining the sessions virtually.Just last evening, Govinda was spotted at the airport maintaining his calm while surrounded by the paparazzi. This was his first appearance amidst the divorce speculation. The actor was seen blowing kisses to the cameras as he walked past them to head into the airport. Back in February, amidst reports that the couple had parted ways, Sunta said in a statement to the media, "Humko, mujhe aur Govinda ko is duniya mein agar koi alag kar de, kisi ka maai ka laal toh saamne aa jaye. (If anyone in this world dares to separate me and Govinda, let them come forward)."
