Since last year, Govinda has been surrounded by rumours about the strain in his marriage to Sunita Ahuja. The couple and their statements have remained under intense public scrutiny lately. Speculations about their divorce erupted, followed by rumours of an alleged extramarital affair involving a Bollywood actor. Although Sunita denied the divorce rumours, she also mentioned that she will never forgive her husband, Govinda, if she gets confirmation about his alleged affair. Now, Govinda has finally broken his silence, claiming that there is a ‘big conspiracy’, and that his family members, including wife Sunita, are being used unknowingly.
Govinda opened up about why he remained silent amid rumours of a rift with his wife, Sunita Ahuja. He explained that he chose to speak out now because people might think he is weak or maybe cruel for real. He told ANI, " Sunita is well educated. She never uses foul language. What I’ve been observing lately is that sometimes when we don’t speak, we either appear weak or it seems like we are simply the problem. So today, I’m responding. I was told that people in my family might be unknowingly involved and they won’t realise they are being used in the initial stages of a big conspiracy."
He continued, "I’ve been disconnected from work for many years; there’s no market for my films. Please don’t mistake this as me complaining or crying. I’ve rejected many films myself, so I don’t cry about it."
Govinda also shared that Sunita often worries about his professional life and the projects he rejects, but may not see how she herself is being pulled into the conspiracy. He stated, “Aapko jo chahiye, wo milta nahi hai. Aur jo milta hai wo aapko chahiye nahi hai. Toh fir ghar kaise chalega? But she can never imagine that she herself has been unknowingly placed in a big conspiracy, with her being thrown into the field as the opening batsman."

Recalling an earlier incident when a man accused him and tried to destroy his reputation, the Hero No, 1 actor said, “To ruin someone’s reputation in society and impose something on them – like how, in the beginning, a very dangerous man accused me, and that man was later exposed too. When your popularity in the film industry crosses a certain point, many people come forward to destroy you."
Govinda also revealed that he had alerted Krushna Abhishek about the conspiracy. He added, "Even on Krushna’s shows, the writers would make him deliver dialogues in a way that insulted me. I also told Krushna that he is being used to insult me and therefore, he must take care of my reputation as well. Sunita used to get angry with this… I don’t want to stain the industry I worked in for so many years, but alertness is very necessary."
