Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, recently shared an intriguing story about a fan who went to extraordinary lengths to be close to the star. During an appearance on the podcast Timeout With Ankit, Sunita revealed that in the 1990s, a young woman, who was the daughter of a minister, posed as a housemaid and lived in their home for 20 days.
Sunita recounted, “She stayed with us for around 20–22 days. I noticed she seemed out of place and told my mother-in-law she didn’t know how to do house chores properly.” Sunita’s suspicions grew, leading her to conduct a background check, which eventually revealed the woman’s true identity. “She confessed to being a huge fan of Govinda. Her father later arrived with four cars to take her back.”
Govinda, a Bollywood icon with over 165 films to his credit, enjoys a strong fan following, especially during his peak in the 1990s. Known for his acting, dancing, and comedic roles, he remains a beloved figure in Indian cinema. Govinda and Sunita Ahuja, who married in 1987, have two children, Yashvardhan Ahuja and Tina Ahuja.
This incident sheds light on the lengths fans are willing to go for their idols, highlighting the impact Govinda has had on his audience throughout his career.
