There have been many rumours about Govinda and Sunita getting a divorce. However, Govinda’s lawyer told India Today that Sunita had filed for divorce six months ago, but now their relationship is “going strong”.

After rumours of Govinda and Sunita’s divorce went viral, the actor’s lawyer clarified that the couple is “going strong”. Lalit Bindal, who is also a family friend of Govinda, told India Today that Sunita had filed for divorce about six months ago. However, they worked things out and are now back together.

Bindal shared that the couple even went to Nepal during the New Year and prayed together at Pashupati Nath Mandir. “Everything is fine between them now. Such things happen in relationships, but they are doing well and will always be together,” he added.

Bindal also denied rumours that Govinda and Sunita live in separate apartments. He explained that Govinda bought a bungalow after becoming an MP for official purposes, and it is just across from the flat they have lived in since their marriage. He said that sometimes Govinda has meetings or stays in the bungalow, but they still live together.

Ignoring the noise on social media, the lawyer said that incomplete quotes from Sunita’s podcasts and public appearances are being taken out of context and used against the couple.

The lawyer explained, “For example, when she said ‘Mujhe Govinda jaisa pati nahi chaiye’ (I don’t want Govinda as my husband in the next life), she also added that she wanted a son like him. And when she said he was with his own valentine, she meant he was working. It’s unfortunate that people are only focusing on the negative, even though the couple is together. I can assure you they will always be together. There will be no divorce.”

Govinda, a Bollywood star from the 90s, married Sunita Ahuja in March 1987. They had their daughter, Tina, the following year, and their son, Yashvardhan, was born in 1997.
