Throwback: Sunita Ahuja reveals how she won Govinda’s heart with homemade delicacies

Sunita Ahuja, known for her vivacious personality and infectious laughter, has always been someone who speaks her mind. Her candid nature makes her a delight to watch, and one such memorable moment was when she appeared on Sunday Brunch with Curly Tales. During the fun-filled conversation, she took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revealing how she managed to impress her husband, Bollywood superstar Govinda, with her cooking skills.
In the interview, Sunita shared that she met Govinda when she was just 16 years old. Being well aware of his love for food, she decided to win his heart through his stomach. “I knew Govinda is a foodie, so I thought, isko patane ke liye khana banana sikh lo bhaiya, tabhi yeh aadmi control mein rahega,” she said with her signature laughter. She recalled that her mother was an excellent cook, and by observing her, Sunita picked up the art of cooking. One of the first meals she prepared for Govinda was bhindi (okra) and toor dal, a simple yet classic homemade meal that clearly left an impression on the actor.

However, her culinary journey didn’t stop there. Sunita further shared that after marriage, she had to adapt to her new household’s food traditions. Her mother-in-law followed a strict diet that excluded onion and garlic, which meant she had to learn a completely new style of cooking. Over time, she mastered a variety of dishes, from simple vegetarian meals to rich delicacies like mutton, biryani, and chicken.

Sunita’s revelations in her Curly Tales interview serve as a heartwarming reminder of how love and effort in the kitchen can sometimes be the secret ingredient to a strong relationship. Her witty take on keeping Govinda "under control" with food only adds to the charm of their enduring bond. And if there’s one takeaway from this fun throwback, it’s that good food and a great sense of humor go hand in hand in making a happy marriage!
