Sunita Ahuja’s Remarks That Sparked the Controversy
The controversy began during Sunita Ahuja’s appearance on Paras Chhabra’s YouTube podcast, where she spoke candidly about her personal beliefs and her views on religious rituals. Referring to the family’s priest, she said,
“We also have one in our house — Govinda’s pandit. He gets pujas done and charges ₹2 lakhs. I tell him it’s better to pray on your own; their rituals won’t help. God accepts prayers done sincerely by oneself.”
She went on to add that she believes in doing good deeds with her own hands rather than relying on others, saying,
“If I donate or do any good work, I do it myself for my own karma. The one who fears will always live in fear.”

Sunita’s Comments on Govinda’s Career
During the same conversation, Sunita also shared her views on Govinda’s professional life. She remarked that the actor should focus on improving his health and fitness, saying,
“Now Chichi needs to lose weight and look good. His skin has become dull. He recently said he’s working on three films, but his main issue is not having the right team. The people around him are not talented writers — they are fools who misguide him.”
She further stated that these individuals often turn Govinda against her, claiming,
“They keep filling his ears about me, and he believes them. I want to tell them to say whatever they have to say directly to me, not behind my back.”

Her Future Plans and Personal Views
Despite her strong remarks, Sunita also spoke about her aspirations to give back to society. She revealed plans to establish an old-age home and an animal shelter, emphasising that she intends to fund the initiative independently.
“I will build it with my own money. I don’t need Govinda’s help because he only gives money to his chamchas (yes-men),” she said.
Addressing ongoing rumours about Govinda’s personal life, including alleged affairs, Sunita maintained that she does not believe such claims unless presented with concrete proof. – Govinda Issues Public Apology for Wife Sunita Ahuja
Govinda’s Response
