Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married when she was just 18, and Govinda was yet to establish himself as a movie star. At that time, the couple kept their marriage hidden from the public, and in a recent interview, Sunita said that she sometimes felt like a child when she had her daughter Tina at 19. Tina, who was also a part of the same chat, said that Sunita’s father was not supportive of their union and hence, did not attend the wedding.

Talking to Hauterrfly, Sunita said that she lived in a nuclear family before getting married, but when she married Govinda, she moved in with his joint family. “When I got married to Govinda, he had a big family. I got married when I was just 18. I was 19 when Tina was born so I was still a child when I had the baby,” she said, and mentioned that Govinda had already made it clear that his mother will continue to be the head of the household as long as she is alive and Sunita also lived under her shadow.

“At that time, I was too much in love with my husband. He had told me prior that my house will be headed by my mother till the time she is there. After she is gone, then you can do what you want,” she said, and recalled how many of Govinda’s nieces and nephews lived with them. “Then I got used to be other kids (Krushna, Vinay) being in the house. They were all very little. I am very fond of kids. My heart does not allow me to say that Govinda’s mom is not there, let me throw everyone out. I thought if you perform good deeds, god will watch, even if the kids don’t,” she said. Sunita has been in a public feud with Krushna and his wife Kashmeera for many years now.

She added, “Just because I used to love my husband Govinda a lot, I put up with everything.” Tina then spoke about how her mother came from a different world when she married Govinda. “My mom used to wear hot pants, lived in Pali Hill, came from a very rich background. My dad was not that financially strong. He was struggling from Virar. My maternal grandfather was very well to do comparatively. It was a very Bollywood story where he told my mother, ‘Are you crazy? He is an aspiring actor’. He didn’t even attend the wedding because he was not too happy with the whole thing,” she recalled.

Sunita and Govinda have been married for almost four decades now.
