Sunita on Govinda fan pretending to be a maid

His wife shares during a podcast how a fan once disguised as maid and stayed at their place. “There was this fan who pretended to be a house help, and she stayed with us for around 20–22 days. I thought that she looked like she was from a well-off family. I told my mother-in-law that she didn’t know how to do the dishes or clean the house. Eventually, we got to know she was some minister’s daughter and a Govinda fan”, shares Sunita.

Sunita added, “I was young at that time, but I got suspicious. She used to stay up late and wait for Govinda. I was stunned. Finally, I got a background check for her. She then cried to us and confessed she was Govinda’s fan. Then her father came, and brought four cars with him. I think she worked with us for about 20 days. This is the kind of fan following he had.”

Sunita recalled that she saw female fans faint after screaming his name at concerts. She also said that a hero’s wife has to let go of a lot of things to sustain their marriage. “To be a hero’s wife, aapko dil mein itna bada patthar rakhna padega ya toh aap shadi na karo hero se (you have to have a heart of stone or you don’t marry a hero),” Sunita shared on Timeout With Ankit podcast.

When asked if she ever felt insecure knowing her husband was sought after by many women, she said, “Mereko farak nahi padta (It didn’t affect me). You have to be very confident in yourself. Abhi aadmi hai voh, aap aisa nahi bol sakte gaay hai koi aadmi. Hota hoga. Theek hai na, ghoom fir ke raat ko ghar hi aa jata hai na. (He is a man. You can’t say he is a cow. Things might be happening. It is okay, he came back home at night.)”

Govinda and his wife Sunita have been together for almost four decades now. The couple tied the knot in 1987 and kept their marriage secret for almost two years.
