8 times Ssunita Ahuja publicly accused Govinda of cheating in marriage

Ssunita Ahuja repeatedly spoke in public about actor Govinda’s alleged infidelity, making a series of remarks between November 2025 and August 2026 that kept their marriage under scrutiny. From saying she had ‘heard that it’s a Marathi actress’ to stating ‘Chi Chi ne life mein itne affairs kiye (Chi Chi had so many affairs in his life)’, she claimed several times that Govinda had affairs and the strain they caused her and her family.Her comments came amid wider attention on the couple’s relationship. Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, on Wednesday, told India Today that Ssunita had withdrawn her divorce petition, but the controversy had already played out in public.Here is a look at the eight instances when Ssunita spoke about alleged cheating in her marriage.November 4, 2025: ‘I have heard that it's a Marathi actress’ Speaking on the Abraa Kaa Dabra Show podcast with Paras S Chhabra, Ssunita reacted to reports around Govinda and said, “I have said this many times to the media that I have also heard it. But, till the moment I don’t see him with my own eyes or catch him red-handed, I can’t declare anything. I have heard that it’s a Marathi actress.”December 24, 2025: ‘She only wants his money’ In an interview with ETimes, Ssunita said 2025 had been one of the most difficult years of her life because of the rumours surrounding Govinda’s alleged affair with a younger woman. She said, “I treat 2025 as a very bad year for me because I’ve been hearing about Govinda’s controversy that he is having an affair with a girl. But I know that she’s not an actress because actresses don’t do such bad things. She doesn’t love him; she only wants his money.”She also spoke about what she saw as the priorities in a marriage and added, “I am hoping that Govinda realises that the most important things in his life are three women: his mother, his wife, and his daughter. No one has a right to keep the fourth woman in their life. This is for every man in the world, including Govinda.”January 26, 2026: ‘This is not the age for this’In an interview with Miss Malini, Ssunita said her children were now grown up and get disturbed by such reports. She said, “Mere bache bade ho gaye (My kids are grown up now). I have always said that they get disturbed. I always say that ye tumhari umar nahi hai (this is not the age for this).""Lekin kya hai na, aajkal ki jo ladki aati hain struggle karne ke liye, they need a sugar daddy jo unka kharcha chalaye. Shakal do kaudi ka hai, heroine banna hai. Phir kya karte hain phasa lenge, blackmail karenge (The girls who come today to struggle, they need a sugar daddy to pick up their expenses. They don’t have a good face but want to be heroines. So they entice men and blackmail them),” she added.February 26, 2026: ‘I will forgive him’In a YouTube vlog, Ssunita shared whether she would forgive Govinda amid cheating allegations. She said, "He is my childhood love. If he changes and lives according to what I believe is right, I will forgive him.”She also spoke about her health and the stress caused by the coverage, saying, “I don’t want to hear everything in the news. This is not the age where I can handle such stress, I am going through menopause. At this time, you need your husband and children to support you, not put pressure on you.”June 28, 2026: ‘Chi Chi ne life mein itne affairs kiye’During the premiere of Lock Upp, hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh brought up a headline often linked to Ssunita: ‘I want a son like Govinda, not a husband.’When asked to explain it, she said, “Pyaar mein toh aapko har cheez bardasht karna chahiye. Chi Chi ne life mein itne affairs kiye, chalo hero heroine mein toh hote hi hain. Toh mujhe lagta hai itne saal jo maine Chi Chi ke saath nibhaya hai, I think uske jaisa beta hona chahiye (In love, you should be able to tolerate everything. Chi Chi had so many affairs in his life; well, heroes and heroines do have such things. I think that after standing by Chi Chi for so many years, I deserve to have a son like him).”July 1, 2026: ‘Hero hai to you can't say anything’In one of the episodes of Lock Upp 2, Ssunita addressed Govinda’s alleged extra-marital affairs in a conversation with social media influencer Shreya Kalra and described infidelity as something that had existed from the beginning.She said, “Hua toh abhi kya kar sakte hain... shuru se hi hua hain na lekin? Hero hain toh you can't say anything. Iss umar mein abhi sochunga toh diabetes aur badhega. Jaise chal raha hain chalne do (If it happened, what can I do now? It has been there since the beginning, right? He is a hero, so you can't say anything. If I think about these things now, my diabetes will increase. Let things continue as they are).”The final nail in the coffinAugust 10, 2026: ‘Uski budhi bhrasht ho gayi hai’Ssunita reacted after Govinda was photographed at the airport with co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar. When asked about the pictures and videos, she said, “Ye kahavat suna hai kabhi, ‘vinash kale viprit budhi’, uski budhi bhrasht ho gayi hai isliye ye sab karta hai vo, kya bolu abhi ” (Have you ever heard the saying, ‘When destruction is near, one’s wisdom fails’? His judgment has become clouded, which is why he does all this. What can I say now?).She was also asked about people calling Govinda ‘Cheater Number One’. Ssunita replied, “Ye question mujhe Govinda ke fans ko puchna hai ki jab main bol rahi hoon koi cheez toh sab mujhe troll karte hain, ab main chahti hoon ki Govinda ke fans aur media ab jawab de, mujhse mat pucho, mujhe koi interest bhi nahi hai”August 14, 2026: ‘Sugar Daddy’Later, when paparazzi asked Ssunita about Govinda’s airport appearances with Komal and the promotion around his upcoming projects, she said, “Picture banna bhi toh chahiye. Promotion hota hai picture banne ke baad. Bagair promotion ke hi... kya bolne ka (A movie actually has to get made first; promotion happens after the film is ready. But even without any promotion... what can one say?)”She then added, “Beti ki umar ki ladki ko le kar ghoom raha hai, thoda sharam toh aana chahiye isko. Kuch standard toh hona chahiye (He’s going around with a girl young enough to be his daughter...he ought to feel at least a little ashamed. There should be some standards),” and followed it with, “Agar tumhara sugar daddy itna ameer hai, kapde toh dhang ke pehno. Hum logon ko dekho, kaisa style mein chal rahe hai (If your 'sugar daddy' is that rich, at least wear decent clothes. Look at us. See the style we carry).”Govinda and Ssunita married in 1987, before the actor rose to stardom in Bollywood. They kept the marriage private for nearly two years before acknowledging it publicly after the birth of their daughter, Tina Ahuja. They are also parents to Yashvardhan Ahuja.- EndsPublished By: Priyanka SharmaPublished On: Aug 19, 2026 16:51 IST
