A fresh round of discussion on fidelity in relationships has kicked off in Bollywood circles, after Sunita Ahuja — wife of actor Govinda — shared her clear stance on emotional and physical cheating. Her remarks come after Twinkle Khanna and Kajol recently spoke about infidelity dynamics and the complexities of modern relationships. Sunita, however, appeared to simplify the issue in her own way, stressing that cheating of any form is fundamentally unacceptable. “Emotional cheating ho ya physical… kya zarurat hai dono hi karne ki? Why cheat at all?” she said, during an interaction highlighted in a recent media feature. Her direct tone has resonated with many online, sparking conversations across social media platforms — especially among young audiences who have been debating the legitimacy of “emotional closeness outside a relationship” and whether it should be considered cheating. ‘Loyalty is the base’ Sunita Ahuja emphasised that, regardless of public perception shifts, loyalty remains the core of any stable partnership. “Relationships are built on trust. Agar woh nahi hai, toh relationship ka matlab hi kya?” she added. While not referencing any specific couple or celebrity, Sunita noted that the glamour industry often faces amplified scrutiny and temptation, but the foundation of a relationship does not change with fame or lifestyle. Her comments follow similar reflections by Twinkle Khanna, who previously stated that emotional cheating can sometimes “hit deeper than physical betrayal,” as well as Kajol’s views on the emotional labour that relationships demand. Celeb opinions reflect changing relationship dynamics The conversation started gaining traction in the Hindi film fraternity recently, especially with public figures acknowledging that modern relationships face different challenges due to social media, easy access to communication, and emotional transparency with friends outside partnerships. However, Sunita’s point stands in contrast to the nuanced interpretations of cheating — hers is a line drawn clearly and without exceptions. A topic that never leaves Bollywood Discussions around loyalty and infidelity have long shadowed the film industry, partly due to the media glare under which celebrity relationships unfold. From past star breakups to ongoing public marriages, the idea of fidelity continues to be one of the most dissected and emotionally charged subjects. Sunita Ahuja, who has been married to Govinda for decades, is often seen as someone who represents commitment, stability and clarity in relationships. Her straightforward stance might explain why her comments feel relatable and impactful to audiences. While Twitter threads and think pieces may continue debating whether emotional cheating is “worse” than physical cheating, Sunita Ahuja seems to ask a simpler — and perhaps more universal — question:If you are committed, then why cheat at all?
