Furthermore, Govinda said that even though he and his wife Sunita had blessings from the elders to get married, their wedding was a secret affair. Govinda said that during his Bollywood days, it was thought that marriage may ruin one's career and even, his female fan following would shatter, which is not a good idea for someone who was at the peak of his career.

Revealing his love story, Govinda said it was his wife Sunita who approached him first rather than him. "Once we were traveling together in a car and, I happened to touch her hand gently, she didn't say or budge, so I decided not to remove my hand.
