What Sunita Ahuja said

Sunita recently opened up about her life on Bigg Boss 13 fame Paras Chhabra's podcast. On the show, she highlighted Govinda's habit of spending on pujas and mentioned the pandit he consults. When Paras brought up the topic of some pandits not having the right intentions, Sunita chimed in, "We also have one in our house, Govinda's pandit (priest). He is also like this only - get pujas (prayers) done, give Rs 2 lakhs. I tell him that you should pray on your own, unka karaaya hua puja paath kuch kaam nahi aane wala hai (their rituals are not going to work for you."

"God will accept the prayers that you do on your own. I don't believe in all this. Even if I donate or do any good deed, I do it with my own hands for my karma. Darne wala darr jaata hai (The one who believes gets afraid)," she further added.

She even went on to say, "The circle that he sits in has fool writers that are less writers and more fools. They make him a fool and give terrible advice. He doesn't get good people, and they don't like me because I say the truth."

Govinda's work front 

Govinda is expected to make a comeback with Len Den: It's All About Business, Bayan Haath Ka Khel, and Pinky Darling. The actor mentioned these projects on his last appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix.
