Stay within your limits: Govinda hits back at wife Ssunita Ahuja amid affair rumours

Stay within your limits, actor Govinda said in a public response to his wife Ssunita Ahuja after her remarks about his recent appearances with debutant and co-actor Komal Rani Swarnkar went viral. In a viral video, the 62-year-old accused Ssunita of interfering in his work and trying to make him lose public support.The exchange comes amid fresh rumours around Govinda's personal life and repeated allegations by Ssunita about his alleged affairs. Ssunita, 59, had recently questioned Govinda's appearances with Komal, who is set to make her Bollywood debut opposite him in Roopa, and made pointed remarks about both of them during a paparazzi interaction in Mumbai.In one of the viral videos, Govinda said, "Jo kaam baahar mujhe milta hai, woh main karta nahin hoon, aur jo main kar raha hoon, usmein aap hastakshep kar rahi hain. Aur jab aap apna kaam kar rahi thi, chahe woh khaane ka show tha, chahe woh lockdown tha, Tina se kehkar dono shows mein aapne aise-vaise, yen-ken-prakaren mujhe bulvaya aur mujhse sevaayein lein. Khair, woh toh aapka haq hai (I do not take up every opportunity that comes my way, and yet you are interfering in the work I am currently doing. When you were working, whether it was your food show or during the lockdown, you used your contacts to invite me to both programmes and took my support. Of course, that was your right)."Govinda was referring to Ssunita's participation in the reality shows Maa Hai Na and Lock Upp Season 2. He added, "Aur jis waqt maine film shuru ki hai, aap ek bhi kasar nahin chhod rahi hain ki main logon ke dil se utar jaaun, badnaam ho jaun ya kuch aisa ho jaaye ki mera business na ho. (Now that I have started a film, you are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that I lose public support, get defamed, or face losses in my work.)"The actor expressed that people from modest backgrounds who enter the film industry should not be shamed or humiliated to the point that they feel scared or forced to leave. He emphasised that Ssunita has influence, power, fame, respect and wealth; but that does not mean those who have less should be humiliated. Responding to comments about his age and his pairing with younger female actors, Govinda said, "Umar ka yeh jo silsila aapne chalaaya hai, to main aapki jaankari ke liye punah yaad dila doon ki desh ke sabhi bade kalakaron ne un sabhi ladkiyon ke saath kaam kiya jo youngsters rahi hain. Unhein achchi filmein, naam, shohrat aur izzat mili. Aur inhein yuvaon ke saath kaam karne ka mauka mila, isi liye yeh yuva nazar aaye. Aap yeh nahin chah rahi hain ki main yuva kaise dikh sakta hoon (Since you have repeatedly raised the issue of age, let me remind you that many leading actors in the country have worked with younger actresses. Those actresses gained opportunities, recognition and success, while the actors continued to appear youthful on screen. It seems you do not want people to see me in that light.)"He also claimed that a group was trying to damage his image. Govinda said, "Aapke peeche jo group hai, jo gang hai, unse sabhi waqif hain. Aur mujhe lagta hai ki woh waqfiyat bahut zyada khulkar saamne aa jaayegi. To aapke liye bhi yeh cheer shobha nahin degi ( Everyone is aware of the group behind you, and I believe the truth will eventually come out. That would not reflect well on you either.)"He then appealed to Ssunita to stop making public remarks about him, saying, "Aur mujhe aisa lagta hai ki aage bhi shayad aapko meri kahin na kahin, kisi na kisi mukaam par zaroorat padegi. To aap kripya aise bayaan dekar yeh jo podcast chala rahi hain aur yeh jo beizzati ki ja rahi hai... aap thoda sa apni had mein rahiye. Aisi aapse prarthana hai. Dhanyavaad! (I believe there may come a time when you might need my support again. So I request you to stop making such statements and publicly insulting me through these podcasts. Please maintain some boundaries. Thank you.)"Govinda also objected to what he described as Ssunita's use of abusive language. He said, "Aur haan, main specially yeh punah kahunga. Sunita ji, aap bahut zyada maa-behen ki gaaliyaan dene lagi hain (And yes, I would like to say this again. Sunita ji, you have started using far too many abusive expressions."He added, "Aur Ishwar se aap manaaiye ki aapse log prerit ho gaye, to aap apna aaina dekhenge. Youngsters jo hain, aapse ummeed karte hain ki aap jis tarah se vyavahaar karenge, they will follow it (Pray that people do not start taking inspiration from such behaviour. Young people look up to you and often follow what they see.)"He continued, "Kahin aapke hi saath log phir maa-behen ki gaali dena shuru kar denge to bahut lajjit ho jaayenge hum sab. Don't do this (If people begin speaking to you in the same manner, it would be embarrassing for all of us. Don't do this.)"He also said that she has reduced such words to something casual and commonplace. "This is not expected from you," the actor concluded.The authenticity of the viral video could not be indepedently confirmed.What triggered the rowSsunita's remarks had come during a paparazzi interaction in Mumbai on August 14, when she was asked about Govinda's airport appearances with Komal and the promotion of his upcoming projects. She questioned the promotions and said, "A film has to actually get made first. Promotion happens after the film is ready. But even without any promotion, what can one say?"She then targeted Govinda for being seen with a woman she described as young enough to be his daughter. Ssunita said he was "going around with a girl young enough to be his daughter" and that he should feel at least a little ashamed. She also said there should be some standards.Ssunita further made a pointed remark about Komal's appearance, saying that if her "sugar daddy" was so rich, she should at least wear decent clothes.Rumours around Komal Rani SwarnkarThe speculation grew after Govinda and Komal were photographed together at Mumbai airport, with the images circulating widely on social media. Neither Govinda nor Komal has publicly confirmed that they are dating.Komal Rani Swarnkar is a newcomer who is set to make her Bollywood debut alongside Govinda. He recently announced his return to the big screen with Roopa and Duniyadari, introducing her as the female lead of Roopa. Govinda is also producing the projects.Reports have suggested that she may also be associated with Duniyadari, though details about her personal and professional background remain limited.- EndsPublished By: Priyanka SharmaPublished On: Aug 15, 2026 16:18 IST
