Recently, during an interview with Miss Malini, Sunita opened up about her disappointment with Govinda, claiming he hadn’t helped their son Yashvardhan in his career. “Yash is a self-made boy. He hasn’t taken help from his father. He has given 90 auditions, being Govinda’s son. He didn’t ask Govinda to call anyone. Govinda also never helped Yash. I told Govinda on his face, ‘tu baap hai ki kya hai if you won’t help our kids, who will?’ See Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Jackie Shroff, how they all are supporting their sons. I told Govinda that he has to support his son, but I don’t understand his thinking. The circle he is around with is so bad, I don’t know what they teach him. His own career is ruined”, she said.
