Govinda and Neelam Kothari’s affair was in the headlines in the 90s. The two were seen together in many films. Shortly before, Neelam Kothari said in an interview that the news of the affair was just rumor. Meanwhile, Govinda’s interview came into the limelight, in which he confessed to the relationship with Neelam. In the interview, Govinda had even said that due to this affair, he broke the engagement with Sunita Ahuja.
In 1990, Govinda said in an interview to Stardust magazine, when I became busy in films, it affected me and Sunita’s relationship. Sunita started feeling insensible and jealous. She used to bother me and I used to lose my temper. We used to have frequent quarrels. In one such fight, Sunita said something about Neelam and I lost their temper. I ended my relationship with Sunita. I told Sunita to leave me and I broke the engagement with her. If Sunita did not call me 5 days after the quarrel, I would marry Neelam.
Govinda said- I did wrong with Neelam
When Govinda came in films, very few people knew about their marriage. Govinda did not want his married status to affect his career and stardom. In those days, the pair of her and Neelam were very much liked on screen. In such a situation, he kept the secret of marriage. On this, Govinda had said in Stardust’s interview, Neelam also did not know about it. He came to know about this after a year. I hid this thing because I did not want to break my successful screen pair with them. To be honest, to some extent I took advantage of my personal relationship with Neelam for professional benefits. I did wrong with him. I should have told him that I am married.

Govinda wanted to marry Neelam
In an interview, Govinda even said that Neelam was an ideal wife for him. Govinda had said, I wanted to marry Neelam. I don’t think anything is wrong in this. Neelam was an ideal girl, as every person thought for his life-partner. She was a girl as I wanted. But it also had a practical side. Just because I fell in love with someone, it did not mean that I would break my commitment with Sunita.

Neelam had given a reaction on relationship roomrs
Some time ago, in an interview to Hotterfly, Neelam Kothari said on the news of the relationship with Govinda, there was nothing like that. I think link-ups are part of this game. No one could be cleared. People used to print whatever they wanted. I think we were afraid of the press in those days. Because at that time there was the strength of the pen and it was part of it. If you work in 2-3 films with a hero, everyone thought you are together.
Let us tell you that Neelam Kothari and Govinda have appeared together in films like Issam, Khudgarj, Gharana and Farz Ki Jung.
