No divorce for Ssunita-Govinda. Manager confirms withdrawal of petition

After months of speculation around their marriage, Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, has confirmed to India Today that Ssunita Ahuja has officially withdrawn her divorce petition from the court.The Bollywood star and his wife have been at the centre of a controversy surrounding their marriage. On Wednesday, Ssunita was seen at the Bandra family court with her son Yashvardhan Ahuja, sparking fresh speculation about the couple’s relationship.Speaking about the latest development, Sinha told India Today, “We don’t know what came on to her, but she has decided to withdraw it officially. Earlier, she had filed the petition; however, no further action was taken on it. But now, she has legally taken back the case."Adding that Govinda has chosen not to speak on the matter, Sinha said things have become “dirty” publicly between the couple, with Ssunita making some derogatory remarks about her husband. Govinda, in turn, shared a video warning her to “be in her limits”.“Bohot badnaami huyi hai unki (Ssunita has been defamed a lot). But it never caused harm to sir; his stardom remained intact. If she really wanted to take the petition back, things shouldn’t have gone that far from her side. But good, now we can hope for some happy and peaceful time,” he added.Ssunita’s court appearance came days after she made several candid remarks about her marriage to Govinda and his personal life. She was seen leaving the Bandra Family Court with their son Yashvardhan on Wednesday afternoon. When photographers asked her about the visit, she did not reveal the reason and instead joked, “Birthday manane aaye hain (We came to celebrate birthday).”The visit came amid renewed attention on the couple’s marriage after Ssunita accused Govinda of having an affair. She recently reacted to pictures of the actor at an airport with actor Komal Rani Swarnkar and referred to Govinda as her “sugar daddy”, while also questioning his association with a woman close to their daughter’s age.Govinda later responded to her remarks in a video message, asking her to be cautious about what she says publicly. He told her to “know your limits” and accused her of using a podcast to humiliate him.Govinda and Ssunita married in March 1987 and have two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja. Their relationship has come under renewed public scrutiny in recent months following Ssunita’s candid comments about their marriage.Ssunita had reportedly filed a divorce petition against Govinda at the Bandra Family Court on December 5, 2024, under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, citing adultery, cruelty and desertion. However, Govinda’s manager has now confirmed that Ssunita has withdrawn the petition.- EndsPublished By: shweta keshriPublished On: Aug 19, 2026 15:49 IST
