Govinda accuses Bollywood of conspiring against him, reveals death threats
Listen to article
Bollywood actor-turned-politician Govinda has made shocking claims about the film industry, alleging that he was the target of a conspiracy aimed at removing him from the industry.
The actor, who was once one of the biggest stars of the 90s, spoke candidly about the challenges he faced, including death threats and defamation.
In a recent interview with Mukesh Khanna on his YouTube channel, Govinda reflected on his time away from the industry and revealed that he had turned down roles worth $11,467,000. "I would look in the mirror and slap myself for refusing that money," Govinda said.
Despite these lucrative offers, he defended his decision, stating that it was important to listen to one's heart and to stay true to oneself.
Govinda also recounted the personal struggles that led him to step away from acting. "I went through a defamation phase, and it was pre-planned. They wanted to remove me from the industry," he said.
He added that the conspiracies became more intense, with people attempting to harm him. "Many people were caught outside my house with guns, and different methods to eliminate me were being devised. After these conspiracies, my nature changed," he confessed.
The actor claimed that his entry into Bollywood as an outsider, without any formal education, may have contributed to the industry's hostile actions against him. "I understood that these were all educated people, and I, an uneducated outsider, had entered their space. So they started playing games with me," Govinda explained.
These challenges, according to Govinda, eventually led him to enter politics. While he did not name specific individuals involved in the alleged conspiracy, he emphasised that his decision to join politics was motivated by the way he was treated in the film industry.
Govinda, who last appeared in the film Rangeela Raja in 2019, has been largely absent from the big screen. Though he occasionally makes appearances on reality shows, he has not been part of any major films in the past few years. Recently, rumours of a divorce between Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, surfaced online, although their lawyer clarified that they have since reconciled.

Govinda and Sunita Ahuja reportedly headed for divorce after 37 years
Listen to article Bollywood veteran Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have reportedly parted ways after 37 years of marriage, according to media reports. While neither has officially commented on the rumors, sources suggest that the couple has been living separately for quite some time. Marital struggles and lifestyle differences Reports indicate that Govinda and Sunita's contrasting lifestyle choices have created a growing distance between them. According to Bollywood Now, Govinda's alleged relationship with a Marathi actress has been a significant factor in their separation. In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Sunita Ahuja shed light on their current living situation, revealing that they primarily reside in separate homes. She explained that Govinda often stays at his bungalow, while she and their children live in a separate apartment. "We have two houses—our bungalow is just opposite our apartment. I live in the flat with my children, while Govinda stays at the bungalow because he gets late after meetings and gatherings. He loves talking and socializing, often sitting with 10 people and chatting for hours," she shared. Sunita's take on their relationship Reflecting on their marriage, Sunita playfully remarked on Govinda's lack of romantic gestures. "I've told him that in my next life, he should not be my husband. He doesn't take holidays. I love going out, eating street food, and enjoying simple pleasures, but he is always busy with work. I don't even recall a single instance when we went out to watch a movie together," she said. A marriage kept secret Govinda and Sunita tied the knot in March 1987 but kept their marriage a secret for over a year. They made their relationship public only after welcoming their daughter, Tina, in 1988. The couple later had a son, Yashvardhan, in 1997. While speculation about their separation continues, fans are eagerly awaiting an official statement from the couple regarding their relationship status.
