Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja reveals she converted to Christianity to have wine: 'I go to church every Saturday'
Govinda's wife, Sunita Ahuja, recently talked about converting to Christianity to have wine. She didn’t inform her parents because they wouldn’t have accepted it.
In a recent chat on the Timeout With Ankit Podcast, Sunita shared a story from her childhood, revealing that she was born in Bandra and raised in a Christian environment, attending a Christian school and having Christian friends. She humorously admitted that she got baptized out of curiosity after hearing that Jesus’ blood was referred to as wine, associating it with alcohol. She now follows Christianity and regularly attends church. When asked if her parents were upset about her decision to be baptized, she mentioned that they were never aware of it. “Just to have some wine, I got myself baptized. I follow Christianity, and I go to church every Saturday,” she stated.
