Rumours have been circulating for the past few months that actor Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, have called it quits on their marriage. On Monday, fuel was added to the fire when a report by Hauterrfly went viral, claiming that Ahuja had filed for divorce in the Bandra Family Court last December. The report stated that she had filed the case under section 13 (1) (i), (ia), (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, which means divorce on the grounds of adultery, cruelty and desertion.

Now, the Raja Babu star has put an end to the speculation. Govinda's lawyer Lalit Bindra commented to NDTV, "Koi case nahi sab settle ho raha hai ye sab log purani cheezen utha ke daal rahe hain" ("There is no case, everything is being settled, people are just bringing up old matters").
Sources further told the publication, "Abhi Ganesh Chaturthi aayega, aapko sab saath mein nazar aayenge, aap ghar aaiyega" ("This Ganesh Chaturthi, you will see everyone together, you should come home").
Earlier this year, clips from an interview Ahuja gave to Hindi Rush were doing the rounds on social media. She mentioned that she was suspicious of her husband cheating on her during the early years of their marriage. She further said that they both live in separate households.
However, Govinda's niece Arti Singh had earlier told News18 that the news is false. She said, "These are just speculations because their bond is so strong. They have built a strong and loving relationship over the years, so how can they get divorced? I don’t know where people get all such rumours from. Completely untrue. People should refrain from spreading misinformation about their personal lives. Such baseless gossip only creates unnecessary stress."
