Govinda and Neelam Kothari's affair was in the headlines in the 90s. Both appeared together in several films. Just some time ago, Neelam Kothari had said in an interview that news of the affair was just a rumour. Meanwhile, Govinda's interview made headlines, in which he had admitted to his relationship with Neelam. In the interview, Govinda had even said that due to this affair, he had broken off his engagement with Sunita Ahuja. In an interview given to Stardust magazine in 1990, Govinda had said, "When I got busy in films, it affected my relationship with Sunita. She started feeling insecure and jealous. She would trouble me and I would lose my temper. We had constant fights. In one such fight, Sunita said something about Neelam and I lost my cool. I ended my relationship with Sunita. I told Sunita to leave me and I broke off the engagement with her. If Sunita hadn't called me 5 days after the fight, I would have married Neelam." Govinda had said 'I did wrong with Neelam' When Govinda entered films, few people knew about his marriage. Govinda did not want his married status to affect his career and stardom. In those days, his and Neelam's pairing was quite liked on screen. So he kept his marriage a secret. On this, Govinda had said in an interview with Stardust, Neelam also didn't know about this. She found out about it after a year. I hid this because I didn't want to break our successful screen pair. To be honest, to some extent I took advantage of my personal relationship with Neelam for professional gain. I did wrong with her. I should have told her that I was married. Govinda wanted to marry Neelam In an interview, Govinda had even said that I wanted to marry Neelam. I don't think there was anything wrong with that. Neelam was an ideal girl, the kind everyone thinks of for their life partner. She was the kind of girl I needed. But there was also a practical side to this. Just because I fell in love with someone didn't mean I would break my commitment to Sunita.Original Article by Dainik Bhaskar
