Govinda avoids questions about divorce rumors with wife Sunita
What's the story
Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have been in the eye of the storm of divorce rumors after a 37-year-long marriage.
The couple, parents to two kids—Narmmadaa (Tina) Ahuja and Yashvardhan Ahuja—have been living separately for a while now.
Amid these speculations, a source close to the family revealed to ETimes that Ahuja had sent a separation notice "a few months ago" but no progress has been made since then.
Actor's response
'There are only business talks going...'
When ETimes contacted Govinda for a comment on the divorce rumors, he didn't directly address them, only saying, "There are only business talks going...I am in the process of starting my films."
His manager Shashi Sinha also spoke on the issue saying there have been problems between the couple due to certain statements made by family members.
Sinha added they are trying to resolve these issues while Govinda is preparing for a new film project.
Living separately
Ahuja candidly accepted separate living arrangement claims
In a past interview, Ahuja revealed she stays in a separate apartment with her kids while Govinda stays in a bungalow on the same street.
When paparazzi quizzed her about it during a Shirdi visit, she confidently replied, "Kisi ki majaal hai joh mujhe Govinda se alag karke dikhaaye (I dare anyone to try and separate me from him). Nobody can separate us."
