Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood icon Govinda, shared rare insights into the emotional challenges of being married to a film star. Opening up about the early years of her marriage, Sunita said, “Ek hero ki biwi hona, aapko patthar ka dil banana padta hai. Aap dekhte ho hero humare se zyada to heroine logo ke saath rehte hain.”She pointed out that the nature of an actor’s job often requires them to spend more time with co-stars than with their own family, and learning to manage that reality was essential for her emotional well-being.Govinda was away for shoots during both her deliveriesReflecting on the time when she became a mother, Sunita revealed that Govinda was mostly away on outdoor shoots when she delivered both their children — daughter Tina and son Yashvardhan. “Jab delivery hua mera, tab Govinda zyada tar outdoor mein hi rehte the. Main to apni mother-in-law ke saath rehti thi. Chhote baby ko leke to aap travel nahi kar sakte ho,” she recalled during a recent interview with Instant Bollywood. Sunita lived with her mother-in-law for over a decade and credits her with shaping her understanding of family life. “She always taught me good things. Govinda loved his mom dearly out of fear, and he never did anything wrong in his life,” she said with pride.‘Trust is crucial, or your life will be ruined’Sunita emphasized that trust is the bedrock of a lasting relationship, especially in the world of glitz and glamour. “Agar aap sochte ho nahi ye jaake ye kar raha hai, vo kar raha hai, toh aapka zindagi khatam ho jayega,” she said.She stressed the importance of not succumbing to insecurities if a marriage is to last. “Fir aap 30-40 saal kaha nibhaoge?” she asked rhetorically, highlighting the need to focus on the bigger picture and shared journey instead of doubts.
