Govinda reacts to Sunita Ahuja age-shaming him amid affair rumours with Komal Rani Swarnkar, says she’s leaving no stone unturned to defame him: ‘Greatest artists of the country have worked with youngsters’

Actor Govinda has responded to the recent allegations and public criticism made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja. On Saturday, the actor shared a video message in which he addressed her directly, maintaining a composed tone while strongly defending himself and his professional choices. Govinda’s comments come after Sunita reacted to the actor being spotted at the airport with rumoured girlfriend Komal RaniIn the video, Govinda accused Sunita of interfering with his work and claimed that she had previously sought his participation in projects she was involved with.He said, “I don’t do the work that I get from outside. And what I am doing, you are interfering in it. And when you were doing your work, whether it was a food show or a lock Upp, you asked me appear in both the shows through our daughter Tina. Aapne meri seva lee, khair, woh aapka haq hai (That is your right). And now that I have started this film, you are not leaving any chance for me to get out of people’s hearts, to be defamed, or to lose my business. When people from poor families come to the film industry, don’t humiliate them so much that they run away, they get scared. You have the ability, you have the strength, fame, respect, wealth, everything is given by God. It doesn’t mean that you should humiliate those who don’t have it. It doesn’t suit you”.Govinda also addressed comments surrounding the age difference between him and actress Komal, whom Sunita has previously linked to the actor. Defending his decision to work with younger actresses, he pointed to the long-standing practice of established actors sharing the screen with younger performers.He further said, “And you spoke about the age difference, so let me remind you again for your information, all the great artistes of the country have worked with all those girls who were youngsters. They got good films, fame and respect. And they got a chance to work with young people. That’s why this young man was seen. You don’t want me to look like a young man. In your small expectations, you are busy harming a business”.While Govinda remained calm throughout the video, his message became increasingly firm as he warned against what he described as a campaign of public insults and criticism.“The group behind you, the gang, everyone is familiar with them. And I think that familiarity will come forward a lot. So it won’t suit you either. And I think that in the future too, you will need me somewhere, at some point. So please don’t give such statements. The podcasts that are being run and the insults that are being done, please stay within your limits. This is my request to you”, he added.Govinda’s response comes after Sunita publicly criticised the actor while discussing his upcoming film. She reportedly referred to him as actress Komal’s “sugar daddy” after he was seen with the actress, whom she had earlier accused of having an affair with him.Sunita also questioned the 62-year-old actor’s decision to be seen with a woman close to their daughter’s age and took aim at Komal’s appearance and clothing. The remarks have since added another public chapter to the couple’s ongoing differences.
