Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda has finally broken his silence on the controversy surrounding his marriage to wife Sunita Ahuja, claiming that she is being used as part of a “big conspiracy” to damage his image. The actor addressed the issue after Sunita’s recent comments about his alleged multiple affairs sparked fresh speculation about trouble in their marriage.

Govinda said he chose to speak up now because staying quiet often leads to misunderstandings. “What I’ve observed is that when we don’t speak, people either think we are weak or that we are the problem. So today, I’m responding,” he said, adding that people close to him might not even realise they are being pulled into a larger agenda.
