Govinda, who was madly in love with Neelam, broke engagment with Sunita Ahuja: ‘Never meant to get seriously involved with her’ | Bollywood News

‘I had never meant to get so seriously involved with Sunita’

Revisiting how he ‘lost his heart’ to a dignified Neelam Kothari, Govinda said, “I decided to marry Sunita, I was committed to her, and I couldn’t have dropped her after I fell in love with Neelam. I couldn’t believe that such a young girl, even after attaining so much name, fame, and wealth, could be so simple and down-to-earth. I couldn’t stop praising her. To my friends, to my family. Even to Sunita, to whom I was committed. I would tell Sunita to change herself and become like Neelam. I would tell her to learn from her. I was merciless.”

Govinda further added, “Sunita would get irritated. She would tell me, ‘You fell in love with me because of who I am, don’t ever try to change me.’ But I was so confused. I had never meant to get so seriously involved with Sunita. I was looking for a girl to go around with. I had signed a few films by then, and one day, my elder brother Kirti came to visit me on my sets. I had to do a romantic scene, but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I felt very uncomfortable and awkward holding a girl in my arms. So, later, my brother told me, ‘Why don’t you have an affair just to get some experience of romance? You’ll at least learn how to hold a girl in your arms.’ At that point in time, I met Sunita. I admit that my involvement with her was a totally calculated move on my part. And I paid a heavy price for it.”
