# Govinda's Shocking Confession: "I Would Have Married Neelam" – The Untold Drama Behind Bollywood's Secret Marriage Imagine breaking off your engagement in a heated fight, only to nearly wed your sizzling on-screen partner – that's the real-life Bollywood plot twist Govinda once spilled.[1][2] In the glitzy '80s and '90s, Govinda and Neelam Kothari ruled the screens with their electric chemistry in hits that made fans swoon. But off-screen, Govinda's life was a whirlwind of love, jealousy, and tough choices. As his career skyrocketed, tensions brewed in his relationship with fiancée Sunita Ahuja. She felt insecure amid his rising fame, leading to constant fights where she'd nag, and he'd lose his temper.[1][3] One explosive argument pushed him over the edge: Sunita made a remark about Neelam, and Govinda called off the engagement, even asking her to leave.[2] Days later, Sunita reached out, coaxing him back. They secretly married in a temple, hiding the news for a full year to protect his career – and crucially, not telling Neelam.[3] Govinda later confessed in a candid *Stardust* interview: "Had Sunita not called me after five days... I would probably have married Neelam."[1][4] He admitted falling hard for Neelam, calling her the "ideal girl" every man dreams of, but duty to Sunita won out.[2] Yet, the real jaw-dropper? Govinda "played dirty" by keeping his marriage from Neelam to preserve their blockbuster pairing. "I exploited my personal relationship with Neelam for professional ends. I should have told her that I was married," he regretted.[1][2][3] Neelam, years later, shut down affair rumors, praising Govinda as a good person but denying any romance.[4]
