When it comes to being real and unapologetically honest, Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood’s Hero No. 1, Govinda, takes the crown. Their love story is the stuff of filmy dreams, but Sunita’s fierce personality and unfiltered opinions are what truly keep the headlines buzzing. Recently, she revealed Govinda’s old-school ways, his fallout with David Dhawan, and why their kids don’t take advice from their superstar dad.
Sunita Ahuja suggests Govinda to Move On from the 90s
As their son Yashvardan Ahuja gears up for his big Bollywood debut in 2025, you’d think he’d lean on his father’s wealth of industry experience, right? Wrong. Sunita didn’t mince words when asked about it: “Nobody listens to Govinda’s advice because it’s stuck in the 90s. I give advice suited to 2024. We keep telling him to move on from the 90s.”
What went wrong between Govinda and David Dhawan?
Govinda and David Dhawan’s partnership redefined Bollywood comedy in the 1990s, delivering iconic hits like Coolie No. 1 and Hero No. 1. Their unmatched synergy blended Govinda’s impeccable comic timing and dance moves with Dhawan’s mass-appeal direction, creating a legacy of laughter and unforgettable entertainment that remains iconic in Indian cinema.
Reflecting on Govinda’s iconic partnership with David Dhawan, Sunita said, “I always say David is like my father. Back then, actors used to have a lot of ‘chamchas’, and they would create misunderstandings. People became jealous seeing the partnership between David and Govinda. When you surround yourself with negative people, you’re bound to absorb their negativity.”
Apparently, the negativity in Govinda’s circle eventually seeped into their professional relationship. Sunita didn’t hold back, adding,“David didn’t say anything wrong. He said that in the 90s, solo-hero films worked, but that’s no longer the case. Rarely do they succeed today. David suggested that Govinda take up second-lead roles, but not insignificant ones. After all, he played a second lead in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and that wasn’t a bad choice. But people around Govinda would provoke him, saying, ‘You’re the hero.’ It makes me angry to see how these things happened. The people in Govinda’s circle weren’t good; they instigated him against”.
Govinda’s Comeback Plans?
Remember when Govinda announced on The Kapil Sharma Show that he’d be doing three films? Well, Sunita said she wouldn’t comment on it until it’s official.
