He didn’t just play Rocky! He gave the character a soul, a swagger and an unforgettable place in Indian cinema. Behind that powerful screen presence, I discovered a warm, grounded and thoughtful human being. We met at a studio and spoke about cinema, life, parents, families, dreams and the journeys that shape us.”

“Whenever I meet talented younger actors who are passionate and hungry to create something extraordinary, I feel energised. Their fire inspires me to work harder, explore deeper and give my very best.”

My dearest Yash, may your forthcoming film #Toxic create its own magic and receive tremendous love and success. Keep inspiring, keep conquering. Lots of love and good luck, my friend! @thenameisyash.”

On the personal front, Sunita recently withdrew her divorce case against Govinda.

Sunita was captured by the shutterbugs at the Bandra family court in Mumbai with her son, Yashvardhan.

As media contacted Govinda’s manager Shashi Sinha, he confirmed that Sunita had taken back the divorce petition filed against the actor.

He told media, “The petition Sunita ji had filed in the court earlier; she had gone to withdraw it.”

Recently, Sunita had made some serious allegations against Govinda regarding his alleged relationship with the young actress Komal Rani Swarnkar.

In response, Govinda also uploaded a video on social media, warning Sunita to be mindful of her language.

The ‘Partner’ actor asked her to refrain from making statements that could be harmful to his reputation.
