She also addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding Govinda’s personal life and rumors of his separation from his wife Sunita Ahuja. Surabhi explained that she never met Sunita during the treatment period because she was not present in the physical therapy sessions.
“I have never met Sunita Ahuja, and she was not present during the sessions. He is a very strong fighter, and I am sure he will fix his personal life issues as well,” she said. She added that the constant attention to his private life affects him, but he relies on spirituality to cope. “He is in pain, but his strength is meditation. He meditates for hours. He is very spiritual and God-fearing. He knows how to fight his own battles.
“In the past, Sunita Govinda has been publicly accused of being involved with a Marathi actress, with some reports claiming that the actress is Komal. When asked about these allegations and Sunita’s recent comments, Govinda chose not to respond directly.Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, he said, “I feel that when someone starts showing their pain in public, and yet there is a certain glow on their face, you start to wonder if the eyes are slipping away from the truth.
Sometimes, people may seem very honest, but their loyalty lies elsewhere. By discussing such things, I might end up embarrassing someone, and I’m not the type of person who wants to do that.Recently, their daughter Tina Ahuja also addressed the rumors about her parents’ relationship during an appearance in Sunita’s vlog. “It wasn’t a great couple of years. There were turmoil,” Tina said.Sunita, who was also part of the vlog, spoke about focusing on herself at this stage of life.
“Everything has to be done within limits. I have done all my duties, but at this point I am starting to live for myself. I deserve more than this. Now I will live my life like a king.”After the accidental shooting incident in 2024, Govinda had addressed the incident during a press conference immediately after his discharge from the hospital. Explaining what happened, he said: “At first, I couldn’t believe what happened. It’s a deep wound, and I was in complete shock. I kept wondering: What just happened?” I was getting ready to leave for a show in Kolkata. It was early in the morning, around 4:45-5am. The gun dropped and missed.
“I was stunned, and when I looked down, there was a fountain of blood.”
