• Coverage says the court summoned Govinda on May 25 and issued a show‑cause notice after he did not appear in person.
• Reports state court‑mandated counselling has been underway since June, with Sunita attending in person and Govinda’s participation unclear.
• Govinda’s lawyer Lalit Bindra says “there is no case,” his manager calls the issues old and predicts “no divorce,” and daughter Tina dismisses the chatter as “all rumours.”
