Ssunita recently cleared the air on rumors of trouble in her marriage with Bollywood superstar Govinda. However, this isn't the first time she has addressed the divorce speculations. The latest rumors of a possible split between the couple created much buzz as eagle-eyed fans noticed that Ssunita dropped Govinda's surname, Ahuja, from her social media handle. Not only this but the internet users also noticed that Ssunita made a change in her first name.

Talking about the same, she told Bombay Times that the purpose of dropping Ahuja from her name and adding an extra 's' to her first name is solely because of numerology. "I want name and fame—who doesn’t, right?" quipped the 57-year-old. When asked if the change brought her the recognition and fame she wished for, the star wife light-heartedly agreed to it. She emphasized going viral on social platforms in the last few months.

Until something comes directly from both of us, don't assume anything."

For the unversed, earlier this year, reports were suggesting that Govinda and Ssunita had filed for divorce. Later, the actor’s lawyer stated that the couple has resolved their differences and decided to withdraw the divorce petition.
