Mumbai: Bollywood star Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have always been open about their personal and professional journeys. In a recent candid conversation with YouTuber Usha Kakade, Sunita opened up about the most challenging period of her life, the loss of her second child.

Sunita shared, “When my second daughter was born prematurely, she stayed in my arms for three months. But her lungs did not develop properly, and one night she couldn’t breathe. She passed away in my arms. That was extremely difficult. I could have had two daughters and a son today.” Her words reflect the deep emotional pain she experienced and the impact it has had on her family.

Coping with Premature Birth and Loss

Sunita has previously spoken about the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s premature birth in an interview with Hauterrfly. She revealed that she gave birth at eight months due to frequent travel with Govinda during her pregnancy. “I didn’t know I shouldn’t lift heavy things. My first delivery was smooth, so I assumed the second would be the same. I had no idea the baby’s lungs wouldn’t develop fully,” she said. Her honesty highlights the unspoken challenges many mothers face with premature births and the emotional toll of losing a child.
