New Delhi: Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja are often in the headlines due to their public presence and statements on marriage. However, there was a time when Bollywood was not afraid of controversies. Celebs used to speak their heart in the interview, regardless of whether they would have trouble or not. Similarly, Govinda once openly said that he was so in love with the then co-star Neelam that he had broken his engagement with his now wife Sunita. The former superstar also revealed that he played ‘dirty game’ with him by not telling Neelam about his marriage.
Govinda and Neelam were the hit pair of that time. However, he had no idea that his on-screen chemistry would soon turn into reality. Although he slowly fell in love with Neelam, he knew about the growing dissatisfaction with Sunita about his engagement.
Govinda took advantage of favorite actress
Fascinated by Neelam, he also started wanting that Sunita should also be like him, it is hoped that it will give him a reason to stay in the relationship. However, as their comparison between the two women became more often more intense, the tension increased. Finally, Sunita lost her temper and made a comment about Neelam that inspired Govinda to break her engagement. A few days later, Sunita called Govinda and both reconciled. He soon got married in a small form in a temple and kept the news of his marriage secret because the Hero No.1 actor felt that this would affect his career. He did not even tell Neelam about his marriage. Further, Govinda told, ‘Neelam did not even know about it. He came to know only after a year. I probably did not tell him because I did not want to break this successful screen pair. And to be honest, to some extent, I took advantage of my personal relationship with Neelam for professional purposes. I played a dirty game with her.
Was a wedding commitment with Sunita
Govinda said in an old interview to Stardust magazine, “I should have told him that I am married.” Govinda praised Neelam and often shared his wish to marry her. He described her as an ideal woman of her life and admitted that she had already started imagining her as his future wife. Considering this in an old interview, Govinda said, ‘Yes, I wanted to marry her. And I don’t think anything is wrong in this. Neelam was an idol girl, the kind of man imagined for his spouse. The kind of girl I wanted. But it was emotional and practical side. Just because I had fallen in love elsewhere, I could not ignore my commentmint towards Sunita. If a man does not have a feeling of duty, then it would go on. Leave one for the other and the other for the other.
Govinda understood the words of relationship with Neelam
However, Neelam never told that marrying Govinda is on her radar because her priority attention was always on her career. Inspired by ambition, she often avoided Govinda’s marriage in laughter. Her goal was to become the top Bollywood actress. In the last interview, he addressed the rumors connecting Govinda to him and clearly stated that there was no relationship between him. He said that such gossip was common in those days, especially when there was no one to clarify the truth.
Now both stars are happy in their life
Talking about today, Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s marriage has been more than 37 years. Earlier this year, he made headlines for the speculation of divorce, however, Sunita clarified that everything is fine in her relationship. For Neelam, actor-jewelery designer married actor Sameer Soni in 2011. He adopted daughter Ahana in 2013. The glimpses of his happy family are less shown in Netflix’s Fabulus Lives vs. Bollywood Wives.
