Sunita Ahuja recalls ‘people were jealous’ of Govinda & David Dhawan’s partnership; says, “Back then, actors used to have a lot of ‘chamchas’”

Govinda’s wife Sunita has been in the news lately. She is a vocal person and does not shy away from expressing her opinions. In a recent interview, Sunita Ahuja commented on Govinda and David Dhawan’s fallout. She also spoke about Govinda’s approach and admits he is still stuck in the 90s and so their children don’t take advice from him.

Sunita Ahuja on David Dhawan-Govinda equation

As Bollywood actor Govinda’s son, Yashvardan Ahuja, gears up for his Bollywood debut in 2025, questions arise about whether he relies on his father’s advice. Addressing this, the actor’s wife Sunita says, “Nobody listens to Govinda’s advice because it’s stuck in the 90s. I give advice suited to 2024. We keep telling him to move on from the 90s.”

Govinda’s old formula was one of the reason of his strained relationship with director David Dhawan. Reflecting on their fallow, Sunita recalls, “I always say David is like my father. Back then, actors used to have a lot of ‘chamchas’, and they would create misunderstandings. People became jealous seeing the partnership between David and Govinda. When you surround yourself with negative people, you’re bound to absorb their negativity.”

“David didn’t say anything wrong. He said that in the 90s, solo-hero films worked, but that’s no longer the case. Rarely do they succeed today. David suggested that Govinda take up second-lead roles, but not insignificant ones. After all, he played a second lead in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and that wasn’t a bad choice. But people around Govinda would provoke him, saying, ‘You’re the hero.’ It makes me angry to see how these things happened. The people in Govinda’s circle weren’t good; they instigated him against”, shared Govinda’s wife.

It was on The Great Indian Kapil Show that Govinda had announced doing three movies. However, Sunita refused to comment on it unless details are officially out.
