In a 1990 interview with Stardust, the actor said, “I couldn’t stop praising her. To my friends, to my family. Even to Sunita, to whom I was committed. I would tell Sunita to change herself and become like Neelam. I would tell her to learn from her. I was merciless. Sunita would get irritated. She would tell me, ‘You fell in love with me because of what I am, don’t ever try to change me.’ But I was so confused. I didn’t know what to own.” (File Photo)

He added, “I asked Sunita to leave me. I broke off my engagement with her. And, had Sunita not called me after five days and coaxed me into it again, I would probably have married Neelam.” However, Neelam later clarified in an interview with Hauterrfly that there was never any romance between her and Govinda.
