When Govinda Said He 'Played Dirty' With Neelam, Didn't Reveal He Was Married To Sunita
Last Updated: Govinda once admitted he was smitten with co-star Neelam and broke off his engagement with Sunita Ahuja. Despite this, he secretly married Sunita. Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja often make headlines due to their public appearances and statements on marriage. However, there was a time when Bollywood wasn't scared of controversies. Celebs would bare their heart out in interviews, not caring whether it'll lead them into trouble. In similar lines, Govinda had once openly spoken about how smitten he was with then co-star Neelam that he broke off his engagement with now-wife Sunita. The former superstar had also revealed that he 'played dirty" with Neelam by not informing her about his marriage. Govinda and Neelam were a hit pair back in the day. However, little did they know that their on-screen chemistry would soon translate into reality. Although he gradually found himself falling in love with Neelam, he remained conscious of his growing dissatisfaction with his engagement to Sunita. Enchanted by Neelam, he even began wishing that Sunita would emulate her, hoping it might give him a reason to stay in the relationship. However, as his comparisons between the two women became more frequent and intense, tensions rose. Eventually, Sunita lost her temper and made a remark about Neelam that prompted Govinda to end their engagement. Few days later, Sunita called Govinda and the two reconciled. They soon had an intimate wedding in a temple and kept the news of their marriage a secret as the Hero No 1 actor thought it would affect his career. He didn't even inform Neelam about his wedding. 'Neither did Neelam know about it. She got to know only after a year. 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," Govinda told Stardust magazine during a throwback interview. Govinda openly expressed his deep admiration for Neelam and often shared his desire to marry her. He described her as the ideal woman in his life and admitted that he had already begun imagining her as his future wife. Reflecting on this in an old interview, Govinda said, 'Yes, I wanted to marry her. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Neelam was the ideal girl, the kind every man visualises for a life-partner. The kind of girl I wanted. But that was getting emotional. There was another practical side. Just because I had fallen in love elsewhere, I couldn't overlook my commitment towards Sunita. If there was no sense of duty in a man, this would go on. Leave one for another and another for another." Neelam, however, never mentioned that getting married to Govinda was in her radar as her primary focus was always her career. Driven by ambition, she often brushed off Govinda's talk of marriage with a laugh. Her goal was to become Bollywood's top actress. In a past interview, she addressed the rumours linking her to Govinda, firmly stating that there was no relationship between them. She added that such gossip was common in those days, especially since there was no one to clarify the truth. Cut to today: Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been married for over 37 years. Earlier this year, they made headlines for divorce speculations, however, Sunita clarified that all was well in their relationship. As for Neelam, the actor-jewellery designer married actor Sameer Soni in 2011. They adopted daughter Ahana in 2013. Glimpses of their happy family have been sparsely included in Netflix's Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. First Published:
