Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Bollywood actor Govinda's manager Shashi Sinha has denied claims made by his wife Sunita Ahuja that he was planning to marry actor Komal Rani Swarnkar. In a phone conversation with Rakhi Sawant that was recorded by paparazzi in Mumbai, Sunita said she withdrew her divorce petition because Govinda and Swarnkar were reportedly planning to get married. Sunita also expressed anger at seeing Govinda and Swarnkar together at an airport. Govinda's manager Sinha told India Today that there was no truth to the claims. "There is no second marriage happening," Sinha said. "She is his wife, and there must be something going on in her mind that she made those claims." Sinha noted that Sunita had filed for divorce in December 2024 and then withdrawn the petition, and said Govinda has never spoken against his wife publicly. Sunita filed for divorce in December 2024 at the Bandra Family Court citing adultery, cruelty and desertion before withdrawing it.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Siasat.com and Greatandhra.com report Sunita's claims without challenge, focusing on the alleged second marriage plans and her emotional account. Times of India leads with the manager's denial, framing Sunita's statement as questionable and quoting Sinha's suggestion that "something must be going on in her mind." Siasat adds an old Govinda interview about his horoscope hinting at a second marriage, while Times omits that context entirely. A careful reader should note that Sunita's claim is a single allegation from a phone call, directly denied by the manager, and that no independent evidence has surfaced. The next development to watch is any formal statement from Govinda himself.
