Govinda Calls Out Wife Sunita Ahuja's 'Abusive Language' After Her 'Sugar Daddy' Remark

Following Sunita Ahuja’s recent 'sugar daddy' remark about Govinda and his Roopa co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, the actor has now responded to the controversy. Sunita had previously made public comments suggesting that Govinda was involved with the actress.In a detailed statement, Govinda expressed disappointment over Sunita’s remarks and urged her to avoid making statements that could damage his reputation and affect his professional work.What Govinda Said About His Wife Sunita?Govinda accused Sunita of interfering with his current work despite having sought his support for projects she was associated with in the past."Jo kaam baahar mujhe milta hai, woh main karta nahin hoon, aur jo main kar raha hoon, usmein aap hastakshep kar rahi hain. Aur jab aap apna kaam kar rahi thi, chahe woh khaane ka show tha, chahe woh lockdown tha, Tina se kehkar dono shows mein aapne aise-vaise, yen-ken-prakaren mujhe bulvaya aur mujhse sevaayein lein. Khair, woh toh aapka haq hai.(I do not take up every opportunity that comes my way, and yet you are interfering in the work I am currently doing. When you were working, whether it was your food show or during the lockdown, you used your contacts to invite me to both programmes and took my support. Of course, that was your right.)”He then said that her recent comments could affect his public image and business. © Instagram/Sunita Ahuja"Aur jis waqt maine film shuru ki hai, aap ek bhi kasar nahin chhod rahi hain ki main logon ke dil se utar jaaun, badnaam ho jaaun ya kuch aisa ho jaaye ki mera business na ho. (Now that I have started a film, you are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that I lose public support, get defamed, or face losses in my work.)”Govinda also appealed to her not to humiliate people from modest backgrounds trying to establish themselves in the film industry."Kisi gareeb parivaar se jab log film line mein aate hain, unhein is kadar lajjit ya badnaam mat kijiye ki woh bhaag jaayen, woh darr jaayen. (People from modest backgrounds who enter the film industry should not be shamed or humiliated to the point that they feel scared or forced to leave.)”"Aap mein kshamata hai, aap mein taqat hai. Shohrat, izzat aur daulat, sab Ishwar ne di hai. Iska matlab yeh nahin hai ki jiske paas yeh sab nahin hai, use aap zaleel karein. (You have influence, power, fame, respect and wealth. But that does not mean those who have less should be humiliated.)Addressing criticism over his age and his pairing with younger actresses, Govinda argued that veteran actors have frequently worked opposite younger performers."Umar ka yeh jo silsila aapne chalaaya hai, to main aapki jaankari ke liye punah yaad dila doon ki desh ke sabhi bade kalakaron ne un sabhi ladkiyon ke saath kaam kiya jo youngsters rahi hain. Unhein achchi filmein, naam, shohrat aur izzat mili. Aur inhein yuvaon ke saath kaam karne ka mauka mila, isi liye yeh yuva nazar aaye. Aap yeh nahin chah rahi hain ki main yuva kaise dikh sakta hoon.(Since you have repeatedly raised the issue of age, let me remind you that many leading actors in the country have worked with younger actresses. Those actresses gained opportunities, recognition and success, while the actors continued to appear youthful on screen. It seems you do not want people to see me in that light.)”He also alleged that a group was working behind the scenes to damage his reputation."Aap apni chhoti si apekshaon mein ek bahut bade business ke saath ghat karne mein lagi hui hain. Aapke peeche jo group hai, jo gang hai, unse sabhi waqif hain. Aur mujhe lagta hai ki woh waqfiyat bahut zyada khulkar saamne aa jaayegi. To aapke liye bhi yeh cheez shobha nahin degi. (In pursuit of your own expectations, you are harming a much larger business. Everyone is aware of the group behind you, and I believe the truth will eventually come out. That would not reflect well on you either.)” View this post on Instagram Govinda concluded by asking Sunita to stop making public comments about him."Aur mujhe aisa lagta hai ki aage bhi shayad aapko meri kahin na kahin, kisi na kisi mukaam par zaroorat padegi. To aap kripya aise bayaan dekar yeh jo podcast chala rahi hain aur yeh jo beizzati ki ja rahi hai... aap thoda sa apni had mein rahiye. Aisi aapse prarthana hai. Dhanyavaad!(I believe there may come a time when you might need my support again. So I request you to stop making such statements and publicly insulting me through these podcasts. Please maintain some boundaries. Thank you.)”Govinda on abusive languageGovinda also objected to what he described as Sunita’s use of abusive language, particularly involving references to mothers and sisters."Aur haan, main specially yeh punah kahunga. Sunita ji, aap bahut zyada maa-behen ki gaaliyaan dene lagi hain. (And yes, I would like to say this again. Sunita ji, you have started using far too many abusive expressions.)”He warned that such behaviour could influence younger audiences."Aur Ishwar se aap manaaiye ki aapse log prerit ho gaye, to aap apna aaina dekhenge. Youngsters jo hain, aapse ummeed karte hain ki aap jis tarah se vyavahaar karenge, they will follow it. (Pray that people do not start taking inspiration from such behaviour. Young people look up to you and often follow what they see.)”He further said, "Kahin aapke hi saath log phir maa-behen ki gaali dena shuru kar denge to bahut lajjit ho jaayenge hum sab. Don't do this (If people begin speaking to you in the same manner, it would be embarrassing for all of us. Don't do this.)""Aap sasta kar diya hai yeh maa-behen ka naam. Aapse yeh apekshit nahin hai. (You have reduced such words to something casual and commonplace. This is not expected of you.)”Meanwhile, Govinda and Komal have continued making public appearances together while promoting Roopa. Their recent outings, including appearances at Mumbai airport, have once again brought Sunita’s earlier allegations into the spotlight.
