Don't love humans: Ssunita reacts after Govinda visits Lalbaugcha with co-star Rani

Govinda's wife, Ssunita Ahuja, has a message for humans – and it isn't a flattering one. A day after the actor-politician was seen at Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja with co-star and rumoured girlfriend Rani Swarnkar, Ssunita appeared to take a swipe at the situation without naming either of them. Speaking to paparazzi on Wednesday, she said that humans are “dhokebaaz” (deceitful) and urged people to love animals instead.There was no question about Govinda or Rani, though. Sunita was posing for the paparazzi when one of them brought up her pet dog, Winter, telling her, "Ma’am, Winter always comes to drop you off." Sunita then replied, "No matter how much you love humans, it is no use. They just betray you. Love animals instead, they will always stick by you."She added, "Love animals, not humans. Dhokebaaz hote hai insaan (humans are deceitful)," and bid goodbye.Here's the clip: Her remarks came after videos of Govinda and Rani Swarnakar from their visit to the Ganpati pandal made their way online. One particular clip had people talking after Komal was seen with vermilion on her forehead and in her hairline. But a longer version of the video soon offered a different explanation.As Komal bowed her head to seek blessings from Bappa, the vermilion placed at the deity's feet appeared to fall on her head. The detail became part of the online chatter around the visit, which came amid fresh speculation about her equation with Govinda. Watch the video here:Neither Govinda nor Komal has publicly confirmed that they are in a relationship.This isn't the first time Ssunita has spoken publicly about the rumours. In August, after Govinda and Rani were seen together, she criticised the actor, saying he was “carrying around a girl his daughter's age” and “should be ashamed”.The situation became more complicated when Ssunita, during a phone conversation with Rakhi Sawant, claimed that Govinda and Rani were planning to marry and said this was why she had withdrawn her divorce petition. Govinda's manager, Shashi Sinha, later rejected the claim, saying there was no question of the actor marrying for a second time and expressing hope that Govinda and Ssunita would sort out their differences.Govinda also issued a legal warning over reports claiming that he and Komal had secretly married. The warning referred to allegedly false and defamatory material, including deepfakes and misleading content.Govinda is gearing up for the release of his film, Roopa, co-starring Rani.- EndsPublished On: Sep 23, 2026 15:03 IST
