Earlier this weekend, Tina Ahuja boldly denied parents Govinda and Sunita's divorce rumours during a conversation with Hindustan Times. She said, "It's all rumours. I don't pay attention to these rumours. Kya bolun main? He is not even in the country. I feel blessed to have a beautiful family and I am really grateful for all the concern, love and support we have been receiving from the media, fans, and loved ones.”
For the unversed, as per reports by Hauterrfly, Sunita did file for divorce at the Bandra Family Court on December 5, 2024. The petition was registered under Section 13 (1) (i), (ia), (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, citing issues such as adultery, cruelty, and desertion. Govinda was also asked to appear in court, but he only showed up after a notice was served in May 2025. Since June this year, counselling sessions ordered by the court have been underway. While Sunita has been attending them regularly, it’s still not confirmed whether Govinda has joined the sessions online.
