Mumbai, March 24: In an old interview with Lehren TV, Bollywood superstar Govinda had expressed gratitude towards his wife, Sunita Ahuja, and his family for being understanding and cooperative, while admitting that he couldn't give them enough time due to his busy work schedule.
He had said, "No, I don't get enough time for family," adding, "But luckily, they understand this. It's sheer luck."
Speaking about his work commitments, he shared, "I believe as long as I don't get time from work, my life is going well. Otherwise, once you start getting a lot of free time, you're left with nothing," hinting that an actor is only in demand as long as he is busy with work.
The actor further emphasized his dedication to his craft and work, saying, "As long as we can work, we can work hard, why shouldn't we?"
He also added that he would only slow down when necessary, stating, "When we can't do it anymore, when we feel that we're getting too much, we're getting tired, or we feel that we should do fewer films… then we won't. But for me, it doesn't feel like that right now."
Talking about Govinda, the actor was considered one of the biggest stars during his prime in the late 1980s and 1990s.
He delivered notable performances in films like Hatya and Shola Aur Shabnam, with the latter also starring Divya Bharti.
Over time, he transitioned into the comedy genre, where his impeccable dancing skills and comic timing made him a massive audience favourite.
He went on to dominate the 1990s with hits such as Hero No. 1, Anari No. 1, Aunty No. 1, along with many other successful films.
His on-screen pairings with actresses like Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor were extremely popular and played a significant role in the success of many of his films, setting the box office on fire back then.
On the personal front, Govinda married Sunita Ahuja in 1987. The couple is blessed with two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja.
In many of the earlier interviews over the years, both Govinda and Sunita have shared that the actor had always been extremely close to his mother, often describing himself as a devoted "mama's boy."
