In a video, during their public appearance, a paparazzi member asked the couple about the ongoing rumors of their divorce.

Govinda also took the opportunity to show his affection for his family. He distributed sweets to the photographers and requested them to "send big love for his children, Ssunita and Yash, so that they can shine bigger than him."

Meanwhile, Govinda and Ssunita's lawyer, Lalit Bindal, had previously stated that the divorce rumors were "just bringing up old matters," and a source had hinted at their upcoming appearance, saying, "This Ganesh Chaturthi, you will see everyone together; you should come home."

The speculation around the couple's relationship gained traction after Ssunita shared a few personal anecdotes in recent interviews. In one conversation, she had playfully mentioned that she wished her husband was more spontaneous and took her on holidays. "I have told him that in my next life, he should not be my husband," she had said, adding, "He doesn't go on holidays. I am a person who wants to go out with her husband and eat pani-puri on the streets." Govinda and Ssunita have been married since March 1987.
