“Second Marriage in Horoscope": Govinda’s Old Interview Goes Viral Amid Divorce Rumours With Wife Sunita Ahuja

As there are rumors that Actor Govinda and his wife Sunita are getting divorced and ending their 37-year-old marriage one of the old interview clips of the actor that he gave to a famous magazine called Stardust is going viral. In 1990, the ‘Coolie No 1’ star said that more than one marriage is written in his destiny.

In the interview, the Hero No. 1 said that he had fallen in love with his ‘Love 86’ co-star Neelam. He also said that he married Sunita only because he promised her.

He said to Stardust, “After meeting a girl like Neelam, any man is bound to lose his balance. I lost mine totally. I was so confused. I liked her tremendously. I was in love with her. I wanted to marry her. But I couldn't. And yet, I didn't want to let go. Even today, I feel jealous when I see her working with other actors. I wish she would start signing films with me again. If not anything, we could at least be friends.”

He also said that as he was in love with Neelam, he kept his marital status a secret from her. He said, “I probably did not tell her because I did not want to break this successful screen pair. And to be honest, to a certain extent, I did exploit my personal relationship with Neelam for professional ends. I played dirty with her. I should have told her that I was married.”

In the same interview, he further called Divya Bharti sensuous. He said, “Divya is a very sensuous girl. It's difficult for a man to resist her. I know Sunita is going to be very upset with all this. But she should know that I am still resisting Divya's charms. I haven't given in to the temptation as yet..."

Speaking about his marriage with Sunita in the same interview, he said that he never wanted to get seriously involved with Sunita and married her because he had promised her. He said to Stardust, “I was looking for a girl to go around with. I had signed a few films by then, and one day, my elder brother Kirti came to visit me on my sets. I had to do a romantic scene but couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt very uncomfortable and awkward holding a girl in my arms. So, later, my brother told me, ‘Why don't you have an affair just to get some experience of romance? You'll at least learn how to hold a girl in your arms. Then I met Sunita. I admit that my involvement with her was a totally calculated move on my part. And I paid a heavy price for it.”

The actor also claimed that his horoscope says that more than one marriage is written in his life and he said that his wife should accept that there can be a possibility of another marriage. He said, “Tomorrow, who knows, I may get involved again, and then maybe I will marry the girl I get involved with. But Sunita should be prepared for it. Only then will I feel free. And there is a second marriage in my Kundali. Well, I am a firm believer in destiny. What has to happen, will happen.”

Govinda and Sunita, married for 37 years, have two children - Tina & Yashvardhan. Govinda’s Lawyer Lalit Bindal said that Sunita had filed for divorce six months ago but now they are back together. They even went to Nepal together on New Year and did a puja at Pashupatinath Mandir. He said that such ups and downs are common in marriages.
