Govinda tied the knot with Sunita Ahuja in 1987. Before that, the actor was rumoured to be dating many co-stars, however, his relationship with Neelam Kothari particularly stood out. Even years after his marriage with Sunita, the actor spoke fondly of Kothari who is now married to Samir Soni. In an old interview, Govinda even confessed that he was willing to put his marriage in jeopardy to be with Neelam.
Sunita further said, “I have told him that in my next life, he should not be my husband. He doesn’t go on holiday. I am a person who wants to go out with her husband and eat pani-puri on the streets. He spent too much time working… I don’t recall a single instance when we both went out to watch a movie.” Sunita also joked about Govinda cheating on her and said, “I used to be very secure earlier on in our marriage, now I am not… Kya hai na saath (60) ke baad log sathiya bhi jaate hai na… (After 60, people even lose their senses) He has crossed 60, you never know what he does…Mujhe farak hu nahi padta tha pehle (It didn’t make a difference to me earlier). But now that he is over 60, I am scared. When he was younger he used to work so much he had no time for affairs but now I am scared, khaali baitha hai kuch kar na daale”. Veteran actor Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been married for 37 years and are parents to two children, Tina and Yashvardhan.
