Sunita and Govinda are renowned for avoiding the limelight in their private lives. But every time the two appear in public, their fans are left speechless.

They are reportedly on the verge of divorcing after almost 40 years of marriage. Unverified sources suggest that frequent arguments and lifestyle differences have strained their marriage, leading to ongoing troubles in their relationship. 
 
According to Bollywood Now and Telly Masala, there are also many rumors that Govinda’s increasing closeness with his 30-year-old Marathi co-star is the reason for their breakup.

Govinda-Sunita Ahuja are heading for divorce: Additional information 

Sunita had mentioned to Pinkvilla Hindi Rush, “We have two houses, we have a bungalow opposite our apartment. I have my temple and my kids in the flat. We live in the flat whereas he gets late after his meetings. He loves talking so he’ll gather 10 people and sit chatting with them. Whereas me, my son and my daughter live together, but we hardly talk because I feel if you end up wasting your energy by talking too much."
 
According to Sunita, Govinda resides in a bungalow across from the flat where they live with their kids. Govinda's wife made a major remark when discussing their decision to live apart, saying that although she used to feel comfortable in her marriage, she no longer feels that way. She recently grabbed headlines when she revealed her preference for celebrating her birthday alone.
