Veteran actor Govinda known for his films like Coolie No.1,Hero No.1 , Saajan Chale Sasural, Partner, Aankhen and many more has been away from the silver screen for a while, but his wife Sunita Ahuja believes it’s time he returns — and with cinema that reflects today’s times. In a candid conversation with ETimes, Sunita opened up about how the industry has changed, the evolving taste of audiences, and why she feels Govinda still has so much to offer.“Govinda is a versatile actor — people in the 90s and 2000s gave him a lot of respect and love, but now the cinema has changed,” Sunita remarked. She admitted that she often reminds her husband about the importance of evolving with time. “I always tell Govinda that as time goes by, you have to change. So I told him, it’s not the time of the 90s anymore — it’s 2025. You have to see what is working now. If you make films from the past, the audience will not like it.”Sunita was honest about how even Bollywood’s multi-starrer films struggle at the box office these days. “Even multi-star movies don’t work these days. I don’t know what the taste of the audience has become — even I don’t understand. But then, he is a good actor,” she said, emphasizing that talent like Govinda’s shouldn’t remain away from the spotlight.“He should not be sitting at home, he should work. And I am waiting to see him on the big screen. I don’t know when I will get to see him,” she confessed, reflecting the anticipation many of Govinda’s fans continue to hold.Revealing that Govinda has been considering new projects, Sunita shared, “He is listening to subjects. He said, ‘I am making my own movies.’ I said, ‘Make it. But don’t make it of the 90s. Make it of the present. The public should understand what you are saying.’”Sunita’s comments come at a time when conversations around the comeback of 90s stars are gaining momentum. While nostalgia remains a strong sentiment among audiences, Sunita rightly pointed out the need for storytelling that resonates with today’s viewers. She recently caught up on Sunny Deol’s Jaat and stated that she loved the film. Sunita is also trying to establish her own career in the entertainment industry be it judging or acting. She has dropped a lot of weight and follows a very strict fitness regime which involves sleeping by 9:30 PM and waking up at 4:00 AM
