Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in 1987. It was a love marriage and at a time when Govinda was not a star and was struggling to make a career in acting. In a recent interview, Sunita along with their daughter Tina Ahuja opened up on their marriage and her share of struggles. During this chat, Tina revealed how her parents Govinda and Sunita got married and her grandfather didn’t attend the wedding.
Tina said, “My mom used to wear hot pants, lived in Pali Hill, came from a very rich background. My dad was not that financially strong. He was struggling from Virar. My maternal grandfather was very well to do comparatively. It was a very Bollywood story where he told my mother, ‘Are you crazy? He is an aspiring actor’. He didn’t even attend the wedding because he was not too happy with the whole thing.”

Meanwhile, Sunita also spoke about the adjustments she made when she married Govinda. “When I got married to Govinda, he had a big family. I got married when I was just 18. I was 19 when Tina was born so I was still a child when I had the baby,” she said.
Sunita was quite okay with everything as she was madly in love with her husband. She added, “At that time, I was too much in love with my husband. He had told me prior that my house will be headed by my mother till the time she is there. After she is gone, then you can do what you want. Then I got used to be other kids (Krushna Abhishek, Vinay) being in the house. They were all very little. I am very fond of kids. My heart does not allow me to say that Govinda’s mom is not there, let me throw everyone out. I thought if you perform good deeds, god will watch, even if the kids don’t.”
Govinda recently ended his long feud with Krushna Abhishek but Sunita still perhaps isn’t on talking terms with him and his wife Kashmeera.
Sunita added, “Just because I used to love my husband Govinda a lot, I put up with everything.”
