Old Avatar claim resurfaces after Sunita Ahuja's YouTube remarks
Amid buzz around Duniyadari, an old controversy involving Govinda has made a comeback. Years ago, the actor claimed he had been offered the lead in James Cameron’s Avatar but turned it down. This topic came up again recently when his wife, Sunita Ahuja, appeared on Uorfi Javed’s YouTube channel.

When asked about the claim, Sunita appeared surprised, saying she had never heard of such an offer. “I’ve been with Govinda for 40 years and I don’t know when this supposed meeting with the Avatar director happened,” she said. “I don’t lie and I don’t support what isn’t true.”
Whether true or not, the Avatar conversation has once again drawn attention to Govinda just as he begins his new chapter in Duniyadari.
