The high-profile personal dispute between Bollywood veteran Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja has taken a dramatic turn following an unexpected intervention by actress Rakhi Sawant. During an interaction with paparazzi in Mumbai, Rakhi placed a phone call to Sunita on speaker, advising her to prioritize her financial security and secure her husband’s assets rather than get caught up in emotional turmoil.
Rakhi Sawant’s Viral Advice to Sunita Ahuja
During the live interaction, Rakhi spoke to Sunita regarding the ongoing marital discord and Govinda's reported wealth. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Rakhi urged Sunita to protect her financial interests, saying:
"Aap ₹200 crore par dhyaan do. Sab chhodo. Doosri-teesri koi aa gayi na, sab hadap legi. Aap pehle apne naam sab kuch kar lo please, meherbaani."
(Focus on the ₹200 crore. Leave everything else. If some other woman enters the picture, she will take everything. Please, do yourself a favor and get all the property transferred into your name first.)
After concluding the call, Rakhi publicly reaffirmed her support for Sunita in front of the media, stating that the woman of the house is not in the wrong and deserves complete solidarity.
Allegations Involving Komal Rani Swarnkar
The phone conversation also revealed Sunita Ahuja's reasoning behind her recent legal actions. Sunita alleged on the call that she chose to withdraw her divorce petition because Govinda and his co-star, Komal Rani Swarnkar, were allegedly planning to get married.

The Airport Sighting: The controversy flared up after Govinda and Komal were seen together at an airport.
-
Public Reactions: Sunita had openly criticized the public appearances, calling Govinda a "sugar daddy" and questioning the appropriateness of his association with someone much younger.
-
Support from Rakhi: Rakhi supported Sunita's decision to drop the legal case, asserting that proceeding with the divorce would have made it easier for outsiders to claim a share of the family's assets.
Withdrawal of the Divorce Petition
Sunita Ahuja was spotted at Mumbai’s Bandra Family Court alongside her son Yashvardhan to officially withdraw the divorce petition she had filed. As covered by The Times of India, the initial petition cited grounds such as cruelty and adultery under the Hindu Marriage Act.
Govinda's manager, Shashi Sinha, confirmed that the formal withdrawal had been submitted, while also expressing dismay over the couple's private marital matters becoming fodder for public spectacle.
Govinda’s Rebuttal and Professional Comeback
Govinda has responded to the public allegations by asking Sunita to exercise restraint and avoid using abusive language in public forums. He noted that newcomers from modest backgrounds should not be unnecessarily defamed or humiliated because of internal domestic disputes.
Amid the personal controversies, Govinda is gearing up for his cinematic comeback after nearly seven years with the film Roopa, a project centered on its female lead, played by Komal Rani Swarnkar, with Govinda also serving as a producer.
