Tell him to lose weight: Govinda's wife blames his friends for the Hero No. 1 sitting at home without work
Sunita said the veteran star was wasting away his life sitting at home.
In an interview with Zoom, Sunita discussed Govinda's absence from the silver screen for over six years and shared that she has often asked him, 'Why?' often citing the examples of his peers.
Sunita asked Govinda: 'Why is a legend like you sitting at home? Actors of your age are doing so much work, including Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff. Why don't you work?'
Govinda, once among the most bankable stars in Hindi cinema during the 1990s and early 2000s, saw his stardom wane after 2008. He made attempts at a comeback, taking on supporting roles in films like Raavan and Kill Dil, but a true resurgence eluded him. His last on-screen appearance was in the 2019 box office flop Rangeela Raja.
Blaming the company Govinda keeps for his Bollywood debacle, Sunita said that his friends are not telling him that the audience isn't watching 90s-style films anymore.
'Uski zindagi barbaad kyu kar rahe ho do kaudi ke paison ke lie? (Why are you ruining his life for some money?) Tell him to lose weight or look handsome,' she said.
Govinda and Sunita tied the knot on 11 March 1987. The couple has two children, son Yashvardan Ahuja and daughter Tina Ahuja.
Rumours of Sunita Ahuja and Govinda heading for a separation went viral on social media after the actor's wife revealed that they have been living in separate houses.
The divorce rumours between the actor and his wife were fuelled further when she revealed that she has been spending her birthdays alone for the last 12 years.
A post on Reddit also claimed that their divorce was a result of their strained relationship due to the actor's alleged extramarital affair with an unnamed young actress.

‘System is so cruel': OMG 2 director disappointed after his Shahid Kapoor film on Shivaji gets shelved, wonders if his ‘Rs 180 cr film was not enough' proof
Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava has been the biggest Hindi hit of the year so far and until Saiyaara came along, it seemed like Chhaava's throne might remain untouched. While that is yet to be determined, another film based on the life of another Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has been shelved. Amit Rai, of OMG 2 fame, was going to direct the film and Shahid Kapoor was attached to the project. Amit blamed the 'cruel system' for his film getting shelved and said that despite his last film doing really well, his hard work of five years has been destroyed. In a chat with Mid-day, Amit said, 'The system is so cruel. Even if you have proved your mettle with a R180 crore film [OMG 2], it's not enough.' Amit did not explain why his project was shelved but expressed his disappointment with the systemic problems of the film industry. 'How is a director supposed to work here, under these systems of casting, production, star, and management? You live with a story for five years, and within minutes, somebody writes a five-pager, pointing out what is wrong and what is right in the film,' he said. Exclusive | Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 fees revealed, actor to charge between Rs 120-150 crores for three months In 2024, it was reported that Amit's film would be produced by Telugu film producer Dil Raju, and Shahid was already attached to the project. At the time, he was also going to star in Ashwatthama, which was later put on hold due to budget constraints. A post shared by Riteish Deshmukh (@riteishd) Meanwhile, Riteish Deshmukh has already announced his film, Raja Shivaji, based on the life of Shivaji. Riteish is directing the film and will also play the lead role here. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Amole Gupte, and Genelia Deshmukh.

It feels like the internet has already made peace with the truth. The internet runs wild with conspiracy theories behind Ozzy Osbourne's death Theories began swirling right after his final performance. 'Streets are saying Ozzy went ahead with his euthanasia plan and the Farewell show was his own funeral. It doesn't get any more metal than that' one user said. Streets are saying Ozzy went ahead with his euthanasia plan and the Farewell show was his own funeral. It doesn't get any more metal than that While another user on X said, 'This was 100% medical aid in dying. He was rich and had the means to do it quietly and with his family. Sharon discussed it openly in an interview with the Mirror in 2023.' 'He was too sick, nothing else could kill him. That concert was the most metal goodbye ever.' Another tweet read, 'Absolutely mad news to hear, heard he had himself euthanized in Switzerland because absolutely nothing else could kill that absolute legend'.

Ozzy had Parkinson's, constant pain, and multiple cancelled shows and looked physically worn in his last appearances.

She had also said to The Mirror that 'We believe 100% in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains.

Lee So-eun: From Law to Music - The Inspiring Return of a Multi-Talented Artist
The Incredible Journey of a Multi-Talented Artist You're 16, you release your debut album, become famous for hits like "Husband" and "Kitchen," then decide to completely change careers, become a lawyer in New York, and after two decades, return to your first love: music. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sounds like something out of a Bollywood movie, right? But this is exactly what Lee So-eun has done, and honestly, it's giving us major life goals. The Korean artist, who's now 42, is set to release her new album "Lee So-eun's Perspective - Notes on a Poem" on July 23rd, marking her return to music after a 20-year hiatus. For those doing the math, her last album "Think of Me" was released way back in 2005. That's like... before Instagram was even a thing! When Dreams Take a Detour (And That's Totally Okay) What makes Lee So-eun's story so relatable is how she didn't follow the typical "stick to one thing" narrative that we're often pressured into. After gaining popularity with songs like "Resembles You," "Kitchen," "Farewell," and "For a Long Time," she made the bold decision to pursue higher education. She graduated from Korea University's English Literature department in 2007, then packed her bags for the United States. Talk about a plot twist! She got accepted into not one, but four American law schools including Northwestern University, Cornell, Georgetown, and Notre Dame. She chose Northwestern University's Law School in Chicago, focusing on human rights law and copyright law - areas that probably resonated with her artistic background. This reminds us of how many young people today are exploring multiple career paths. Just like how some of our favorite influencers are also entrepreneurs, or how actors become directors, Lee So-eun proved that you don't have to be stuck in one box forever. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Musical Comeback That's Making Hearts Flutter Fast forward to 2025, and Lee So-eun is ready to show the world that artistic souls never really fade away. Her new album is a collaboration with children's song composer Rema (real name Kim Eun-sun), featuring 12 poems from the poetry collection "To My Little Giant" transformed into songs. What's really cool is that she personally translated four bonus tracks into English, giving listeners a chance to experience how language changes the emotional delivery of the same content. The album was co-produced with help from various artists including Choi Jin-kyung from crossover band "Second Moon," producer Yang Si-on, blues & jazz pianist Nam Me-ari, and producer Lee Ki-hyun. The project became especially meaningful to her after becoming a mother. She felt a thirst for content that could positively influence flexible and pure hearts, wanting to create something that could awaken children's emotions, comfort teenagers' feelings, and serve as a medium of empathy for adults navigating changing relationships.
