Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, said that the actor is still stuck in the 1990s.
Govinda and David Dhawan were frequent collaborators.
Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, recently addressed the actor’s damaged bond with director David Dhawan. Govinda and David were frequent collaborators and gave several hits like Saajan Chale Sasural, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Hero No 1 and Raja Babu among others. However, due to a misunderstanding, the duo is not as close as they used to be.
Speaking to Hindi Rush, Sunita said, “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.”
She added, “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.”
Sunita mentioned that Govinda is still stuck in the 1990s when he was a top hero and hasn’t adapted to today’s time. Although Govinda’s son, Yashvardhan is about to make his debut soon, he doesn’t rely on his father’s advice. “Nobody listens to Govinda’s advice because it’s stuck in the 90s. I give advice suited to 2024. We keep telling Govinda to move on from the 90s,” Sunita said.
Interestingly, during his recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Govinda mentioned that he will make his comeback soon. Addressing this, Sunita said that she will give her opinion after she hears more about these projects. “I say it on the face good or bad, I am not going to do chamchagiri whether you are my husband or Govinda. I am not ‘Waah waah’ production, I’m ‘sahi sahi’ production,” she said.
