Story Behind their Courtship
There is an interesting anecdote on how Sunita Munjal and Govinda met for the first time.
During his struggle in the Hindi film Industry, Govinda visited his Uncle, Anand Singh, who was a Filmmaker. And it was during such visits, his paths crossed with Sunita Munjal, who happened to be Anand Singh’s sister-in-law.
They exchanged letters via Sunita’s brother and communicated for months. Owing to the class difference between the two families, there was an objection to their marriage. It was only after a little convincing that Sunita’s mother agreed to their marriage/courtship in 1987. Their marriage was kept a secret until their daughter, Tina, was born. It was done not to make Govinda’s female fanbase become dispirited.
