Govinda's wife Sunita compares herself to Darr's Shah Rukh Khan, says she loves the same way: ‘I'm possessive, can't share my husband'
Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have been married for over 38 years and in a recent interview, Sunita was asked about what is still keeping their relationship intact. Sunita listed three things that are extremely essential in maintaining a loving relationship, and then compared her love for Govinda to that of Shah Rukh Khan's character in Darr. In the film Darr, SRK played a stalker who seems to be dealing with severe mental health issues as he kills people to be with the woman he loves, played by Juhi Chawla.
Sunita, in a chat with Instant Bollywood, was asked how they were still maintaining their relationship after 38 years, and she said, 'It's faith, love and kids.' She added, 'It's very necessary to have faith in each other. And love… I have faith in our love.' Sunita then compared herself to Shah Rukh's character and said, 'I love like… you remember how Shah Rukh Khan loved in Darr, like that madness for love. I am also very possessive. I don't like that my husband and my kids… I can't share them. I am very possessive.' She added, 'There should be some possessiveness or you can't it love, then it's just a compromise.'
In the same chat, Sunita Ahuja shared that she met Govinda when she was still a teenager and fell in love with him. She said that her mother wanted her to be a housewife, and discouraged her from pursuing a career in films even though she received some offers to be a lead actor as a teenager. 'My mom always wanted me to be a good housewife because she was the same way. She loved Govinda a lot. She wanted me to get married, have kids. She said 'What will you gain by becoming an actress?' So I listened to my mom. Now, it's been 38 years,' she said.

Earlier this year, there were rumours that Sunita and Govinda might be heading towards a divorce but Sunita shut down these rumours. This came after Govinda's lawyer, Lalit Bindal, said that Sunita had actually filed for a divorce previously but the couple made up a few months later.
Prior to this, in a chat with Hindi Rush, Sunita Ahuja had implied that the couple was now living separately. This possibly gave birth to rumours that they were heading towards divorce.

(Also read: Diljit Dosanjh beats Zendaya and Rihanna to top Best Dressed poll at Met Gala 2025; Shah Rukh Khan not on list) On June 11, 2025, Diljit was invited as a special speaker at NXNE in Toronto's TIFF Lightbox, marking the launch of the Billboard Summit in Canada. In what is being touted as a first for an Indian artist, the Born to Shine hitmaker sat down for a conversation with Panos A Panay, President of the Recording Academy, the organisation behind the Grammy Awards. A snippet from the interaction was shared by Diljit's team on their official Instagram handle. Panos, referring to Diljit's now-iconic Met Gala car moment with Shakira and Nicole Scherzinger, asked, 'You know, you've collaborated with Sia. This morning I was watching your video with Ed Sheeran. Rumour has it that you carpooled with Shakira. I'm curious how you see these collaborations from an artistic point of view too.' A post shared by TEAM DOSANJH (@teamdiljitglobal) To this, Diljit replied, "Hips don't lie, sir..." making the crowd applaud, adding, 'She invited me on her tour and suggested I do an Indian version of Hips Don't Lie. It's going to be tricky, but I'm sure I'll find it.' Diljit's team also shared a video of him speaking about his connection with his Indian roots and representing them globally. "Like for me, being a part of Punjabi culture, I feel blessed, first of all, and I'm very thankful to my mother tongue, who chose me to spread his fragrance to this, on the global stage. Every culture has a different fragrance, like from here, it's a different culture, and it's very beautiful, I think. Every culture has a different fragrance. I think for, my saying is, for new artists, carry your culture. If you want to stand out in front of this world, use that fragrance," he said. A post shared by TEAM DOSANJH (@teamdiljitglobal) Earlier this year, Diljit left fans speechless with his Met Gala debut. Representing his Sikh identity with pride, he walked the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in traditional Indian attire, a turban, kurta, and tehmat, all designed by Indian fashion designer Prabal Gurung. The look won hearts for its elegance, culture, and symbolism. But what truly made headlines was a behind-the-scenes moment, a fun video posted by his team showing Diljit chilling in a luxury car with Shakira and Nicole Scherzinger. In the clip, Shakira excitedly introduces him to her fans, calling out "Diljit! Diljit!" while he responds with a warm namaste gesture. She then smiles into the camera and says, "Hi to India." Another picture shared by Diljit's team on their Instagram handle from the evening showed the trio posing together at an exclusive dinner hosted by Anna Wintour. (ANI)
