Actor Govinda has walked into the Lock Upp 2 house to cheer up his wife Sunita Ahuja, whose journey on this season of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Saza has been an emotional rollercoaster over the past week. Struggling to adjust to life inside the house, Sunita had herself asked her fellow contestants to put her at risk of elimination. It was in this difficult phase that her husband's arrival on the show came as a much needed morale boost.
Govinda arrives with daughter Tina for a Hero No. 1 style entry
Govinda did not walk in alone, he came along with daughter Tina Ahuja to meet Sunita inside the house. A recently released promo of the show introduces the Bollywood star in true Hero No. 1 fashion as he makes a grand, stylish entry on stage. Hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh gave him a rousing welcome, hugging him warmly right after his entrance. Speaking about the show, Govinda made an interesting remark, saying that what viewers see is the Lock Upp that gets shown on camera, but there are many other real life lock-ups that never get shown, and that he himself is coming straight from that world.
Farah and Govinda's playful banter over the bullet joke
During the conversation, Farah Khan jokingly asked Govinda what kind of contract he had put out that made someone want to shoot him. Govinda matched her humour, replying that he had actually brought a bullet along in his pocket, and that since he had been told someone wanted to shoot him in the chest, he was ready to take it now. The lighthearted exchange has kept the actor's statement trending across social media ever since the episode aired, with fans widely sharing and discussing the moment.
Sunita had opened up about the criticism around her marriage at the premiere
The bullet joke did not come out of nowhere. Earlier, at the premiere episode of Lock Upp 2, Sunita Ahuja had spoken candidly to Govinda about the criticism their marriage has faced over the years. She admitted that her husband had multiple affairs during his career, but said she endured everything for the sake of love and kept the relationship intact. In that same conversation, she had also recalled an accidental shooting incident caused by Govinda, in which she ended up getting shot in the knee. She had joked about it then too, saying that when a third person enters a relationship, the aim goes not for the eyes but for the knees. When Farah reminded Sunita of her own earlier remark that, according to rumours, had she really shot Govinda she would have aimed for his chest, Sunita burst out laughing and said her aim never misses.
Married since 1987, Govinda and Sunita are parents to two children
Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in 1987 and are parents to two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja. Over the course of his long film career, Govinda's name has repeatedly been linked with several actresses, with his rumoured closeness to actress Neelam being the most talked about. More recently, the actor's name also surfaced in rumours linking him with a much younger Marathi actress, sparking fresh chatter. Despite all the speculation and criticism over the years, Govinda showing up inside the Lock Upp 2 house to stand by Sunita has struck a chord with fans following the show.
