In a candid interview with The Powerful Humans, Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, has publicly criticized his inner circle, attributing their influence as a significant factor in his career stagnation. Once a leading star in the 1990s with hits like Hero No. 1, Govinda has not had a major box office success in recent years.(timesofindia.indiatimes.com, en.wikipedia.org)
Sunita expressed frustration over what she described as a “wrong circle” surrounding her husband, comprising a writer, musician, secretary, and a lawyer friend. She accused them of offering empty praise instead of constructive feedback, stating, “They only say 'wah, wah!' If he makes music, they say 'wah, wah... kalam kar diya.' They should tell him the truth. When I tell him the truth, he gets upset.” She further emphasized that these individuals are hindering his growth by not encouraging him to adapt to modern platforms like Netflix and evolving storytelling trends.(timesofindia.indiatimes.com)
Highlighting the disconnect between Govinda's current approach and the industry's shift towards digital platforms, Sunita remarked, “I tell him the 90s era is over. It is 2025. Look at what’s working on Netflix and digital platforms. But he stays with his ‘wah, wah production’.” She believes that as long as Govinda continues to surround himself with this group, his career will remain stagnant.
These remarks have reignited discussions about Govinda's prolonged absence from the limelight and the challenges faced by veteran actors in adapting to the rapidly changing entertainment landscape.
