Govinda Firmly Dismisses Extramarital Affair Allegations
Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda has publicly responded to recent claims made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, firmly dismissing allegations of an extramarital affair. In an exclusive interview, the actor addressed the accusations while speaking extensively about his dedication to his work and his professional conduct within the film industry.
Addressing the Accusations Directly
Speaking to ANI, Govinda reflected on the nature of the allegations, stating, "When did I not get this accusation?" He added with emotional weight, "The accusation is by my childhood love... In the matter of love, it never worked properly. Now this love, according to someone's thinking, is of old age." These comments highlight the personal and longstanding nature of the claims he is confronting.
Emphasis on Professional Ethics and Respect
While opening up about his professional ethics and respect for colleagues, the 'Hero No. 1' actor shared insights from his extensive career. "I have worked with four superstars and Miss Universe heroines. I have never looked at them inappropriately," he asserted. Govinda emphasized that no heroine could claim he misbehaved or used inappropriate language.
He expressed gratitude toward the artists and heroines he has collaborated with, acknowledging their role in his successful films. "My mother was a heroine. I never misbehave with any heroines," he stated, reinforcing his commitment to respectful conduct.
An Apology to Newcomers
In a notable move, Govinda extended an apology to newcomers in the industry. "Therefore, I apologize to my newcomers so that I can work with everyone... I don't want anyone to be afraid of working with me or in my production," he explained. This statement underscores his desire to maintain a positive and collaborative working environment, free from fear or hesitation among emerging talents.
Life Lessons from His Mother
Govinda also shared valuable life lessons passed down from his mother, which have shaped his perspective. "My mother told me, Govind, if you consider the world of four members of the family, one day they will deceive you. What will you do? The world is loving you. Are they stupid? Don't they have money? Don't they have respect?" he recounted.
He expressed his appreciation for the support from the industry, saying, "I welcome all my actresses. I welcome all the actors. I am here because of you. I thank you." This reflects his humility and recognition of the collective effort in his career.
Response to Linked Name
Addressing a name allegedly linked with him, Govinda said, "I thank Komal that I am saved today because she does not speak a single word and remains silent, unlike many youngsters these days." This cryptic remark adds another layer to the ongoing narrative, though he did not elaborate further.
Family Background
Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been married since 1987 and are proud parents to two children: Tina and Yashvardhan. Tina made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with the film 'Second Hand Husband', while Yashvardhan is currently preparing for his acting debut. The family's involvement in the film industry continues to be a significant aspect of their lives.
This response from Govinda comes amid swirling rumors and highlights his efforts to clarify his stance while reaffirming his professional integrity and personal values in the public eye.
