Govinda visited Mumbai’s famous Lalbaugcha Raja on Tuesday, September 22, to seek blessings during Ganesh Chaturthi. The actor drew attention for arriving at the pandal with his Roopa co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, whose name has been linked to him amid ongoing controversy surrounding his marriage to Sunita Ahuja.

The timing of the visit also caught attention as Sunita had visited Lalbaugcha Raja earlier the same day. Govinda and Komal offered prayers at the pandal, with the actor also participating in the final aarti before the two were seen outside posing for photographers.

For the Ganpati darshan, Govinda opted for a traditional white kurta-pyjama,  while Komal was seen in a red saree and heavy jewellery and bangles.

Sunita and Govinda’s marriage

Komal has been linked to Govinda for some time, with their public appearances fuelling speculation. The rumours gained momentum after the two were spotted together at Mumbai airport earlier this year.

In August, Sunita spoke publicly about Govinda’s equation with Komal and, during a phone conversation with Rakhi Sawant, claimed that the two were planning to get married. Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, subsequently dismissed the claim, saying there was no question of a second marriage and that Govinda remained married to Sunita.

Govinda subsequently responded to Sunita’s public comments, with reports saying he objected to their personal matters being discussed publicly and maintained that such issues should not affect his professional life.

Interestingly, Govinda was seen with his children, Tina Ahuja and a son named Yashvardhan Ahuja, together during Ganpati pooja and visarjan.

Speculation around Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s marriage has been ongoing for some time. In February 2025, Govinda’s lawyer confirmed that Sunita had filed for divorce months earlier, but said the couple had resolved their differences and were together again. In August 2026, Sunita withdrew the divorce petition. Govinda’s manager Shashi Sinha subsequently said there was no separation between the couple.

Govinda and Sunita married in 1987.
