MUMBAI, February 10, 2026: – Bollywood veteran Govinda has finally addressed the whirlwind of public allegations made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, regarding his personal conduct and his perceived lack of support for their son Yashvardhan’s upcoming film career.
In a series of candid revelations, Sunita Ahuja had previously voiced her frustration, claiming the actor was “absent” during their son’s crucial transition into the industry. She went as far as to recount a blunt confrontation where she questioned his parental responsibilities, stating, “Are you even a father or what?”
The Defense: “I Guided Him Behind the Scenes” Breaking his silence in an exclusive conversation with a news agency, the Coolie No. 1 star dismissed the notion that he hasn’t been involved in Yashvardhan’s career. Govinda revealed that he leveraged his industry connections to ensure his son received the right mentorship.
“I spoke to [producer Sajid] Nadiadwala, and he provided Yash with the necessary guidance on the technicalities of filmmaking,” Govinda stated. He expressed immense pride in his son’s capabilities, adding, “Yash is technically superior to me and will emerge as a better actor. If his presentation is handled correctly, he will be huge.”
The actor also emphasized that his commitment to family led him to exit the political arena. “I stepped away from politics specifically because I didn’t want it to hamper my family life or hurt my children,” he explained.
Addressing the Allegations of Infidelity The veteran actor Govinda also touched upon the sensitive topic of extramarital affair rumors, which Sunita has frequently mentioned in recent interviews. Govinda adopted a philosophical, yet firm stance against these claims, citing his lifelong track record of professional conduct.
“When have I not faced such accusations?” he remarked, referring to Sunita as his “childhood love.” He strongly defended his professional ethics, noting that despite working with major superstars and former Miss Universes, his reputation on set remained untarnished.

“Not a single heroine of mine can say I ever harassed them or spoke ill of them. I respect all my co-stars and directors. I apologize now only because I don’t want newcomers to be afraid to work with me or my production house,” Govinda asserted.
Gratitude Amidst Controversy In a surprising turn, Govinda expressed gratitude toward those who have remained silent amidst the public “washing of dirty linen.” He specifically mentioned “Komal,” thanking her for her silence in a landscape where many are quick to speak out.
Reflecting on his mother’s wisdom, Govinda concluded that while family dynamics are complex, he remains grateful to the industry and his fans. As Yashvardhan prepares for his debut, it remains to be seen if this public back-and-forth will settle into a quiet domestic front or continue to make headlines.
