Tina Ahuja calls Govinda-Sunita divorce rumours “disturbing”: “I’m not some saint who will never get affected”

In an interview with Free Press Journal, Tina addressed circulating claims of a divorce and an alleged affair involving Govinda, describing the repeated cycle of stories as something she has had to navigate across different media platforms over the years.

On the family rumours

Tina said, “I’ve been seeing this since my childhood. There were stories. Every decade, they have a new story. Earlier, it used to be magazines. Then it came to the internet, and now it’s come to Instagram and the YouTube world. See, I’m human. Obviously, you get kind of troubled when there’s no truth to it, and when it just feels very exaggerated and dragged. Clickbait is taken from somewhere and another story is created. I’m not some saint who will never get affected. It is disturbing, yes. But then you have to learn to have a thicker skin in this industry or any industry in life. When you know the truth and when you know the foundation, then it’s better not to react or let it affect you or your health.”

On star kid assumptions in the casting process

Tina also used the interview to address assumptions she said the industry has made about her willingness to audition, attributing her limited screen presence to preconceived notions about star kids.

She said, “I will tell you why. Casting directors and filmmakers need to understand that I am open to look tests and I’m open to giving auditions. I think a lot of people had stories in their head that she’s a star kid, so she will never give a look test. They pre-assumed things. I was always open to giving look tests and auditions. If I get something good, then why won’t I do it? I would love to be a part of a nice OTT fiction show. A nice movie. They had so many pre-assumptions. People think that she’s the daughter of such a big star; why would she come and do an audition? Why would she come and do a look test? But why wouldn’t I do it? Even in Hollywood, superstars are going and doing look tests.”

Tina is currently appearing alongside her mother Sunita Ahuja in Maa Hai Na, which began streaming on Zee5 on June 17, 2026.
