Sunita Ahuja filed for divorce by accusing Govinda of cheating, cruelty and abandonment. Know the reason

Sunita Ahuja filed a divorce case against Govinda

The marriage of Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja now seems to be on the verge of breaking up.

Sunita has officially filed a divorce petition in Bandra Family Court, Mumbai, citing adultery, cruelty and desertion as grounds.

Background of the case

Sunita filed a petition under Section 13(1)(i), (ia) and (ib) on December 5, 2024. The court summoned Govinda several times, but he did not appear.

There was no concrete response even after the “notice to show cause” was issued in May 2025.

Allegations: Adultery, Cruelty and Desertion

Sunita’s lawyer says that there are allegations of continuous cheating, mental torture and abandonment against her.

These are the reasons due to which she gave up trying to save her marriage.

Court orders and counselling

Both parties have been participating in mandatory counselling under the court order since June 2025.

Sunita regularly visits the chamber, but Govinda’s presence—whether physical or virtual—remains unclear.

Sunita’s emotional vlog

A few days ago, Sunita spoke openly in her YouTube vlog.

She told that she has been a devotee of Mahalaxmi Mandir since childhood.

At the time of her marriage to Govinda, she had made a wish to Maa, “Shaadi ho jaaye aur zindagi acchi rahe.”

Holding back her tears, she said, “Maa fulfilled all the wishes, even gave children. But the path of truth is not easy—there are ups and downs.

Still, I have so much faith in Maa that whoever tries to break my home, Maa Kali will not forgive him.”

Old Rumours and Media Speculation

This year, media also reported that Govinda’s growing closeness with a 30-year-old Marathi actress is causing marital trouble.

Though the two tried to reconcile, Sunita’s vlog and court filings again heated up the issue.

What happens next?

The next hearing will focus on the counselling reports of the two and Govinda’s presence.

If the counselling is not successful, further legal battles are certain between the couple.

This battle of Bollywood couples is not just limited to the court—it is also raising questions on important issues of marriage, trust and family in our society.

Let’s see if Sunita and Govinda are able to save their relationship or separate completely.
