Govinda’s Divorce: Publicity Stunt Or Reality?

Sixty-one-year old Govinda, who ruled Bollywood throughout the 90s and then saw years of no work, seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons. The rumours of his divorce from Sunita has been making headlines at regular intervals. While some dismiss it as a publicity stunt, a few film insiders say it’s for real. A few days back there were reports that wife Sunita and her son Yashvardhan were spotted in the family court, Bandra, Mumbai’s western suburb. A few days later paparazzi got an invite from Govinda-Sunita for the Ganpati festival just to indicate all is well between the couple. Not only those close to the couple say that there were issues and Sunita had been vocal about it. And few it’s a publicity stunt to invite attention. Again, people close to Sunita, she did move the court in December 2024 alleging cheating and desertion. During this time there were strong rumours of some Marathi actress entering Govinda’s life. The latest buzz is that counselling is on and the next court hearing is at the end of the year. Ideally, his diehard fans would want Govinda who has acted in over 165 films to make a big comeback and save his marriage. Wishful thinking!
