Sunita Ahuja Reveals Being Burned by Her Mother and Secret Teen Marriage to Govinda

Her candid remarks reveal strict maternal discipline alongside class divides that forged her rebellious spirit before Bollywood fame.

Overview

  • When she failed eighth grade and lied about her results, her mother punished her by pressing a heated pan against her cheek.
  • She also revealed that she once cut her older sister’s thigh with a blade in retaliation for being pressured to study.
  • She admitted to struggling with most subjects yet found mathematics engaging because of her lifelong love of money.
  • At 18 she married Govinda in secret in 1987 and only disclosed their union after their daughter Tina was born a year later.
  • Her wealthy Pali Hill background clashed with Govinda’s modest Virar beginnings and prompted her father to boycott the ceremony.
