Rakhi Sawant calls Govinda's rumoured girlfriend Komal Rani 'pati chor' and 'gold digger'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Rakhi Sawant unleashed a sharp verbal attack on Komal Rani, the rumoured girlfriend of veteran actor Govinda, at the Mumbai airport on 3 October 2026, calling her a 'pati chor' (husband stealer), a 'gold digger', and a 'chudail' (witch). Sawant accused Komal of destroying a 40-year-long marriage between Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja, who has reportedly filed for divorce from the actor.
What Rakhi Sawant Said
Speaking to photographers outside the airport, Sawant directed her remarks squarely at Komal Rani. 'Komal Rani, main Rakhi Sawant banaungi tujhe Sunita ki naukrani bahut jald. Dusron ke ghar mein ghar barbaad karti hai, dusro ke ghar sansar main aaj lagati hain,' she said.
She further alleged that Komal had set out to charm a wealthy man for financial gain. 'Ek ameer aadmi ko pataungi, gold digger ban jaungi. Govinda ji se paise lekar filme banvaungi. Uske naam ka sindoor lagaungi,' Sawant added, paraphrasing what she claimed was Komal's intent.
The Lalbaugcha Raja Episode
Sawant also reacted to reports that Govinda had attended the Lalbaugcha Raja festivities with Komal Rani rather than his wife Sunita. 'Ye bahot galat baat hai Govinda ji. Apni biwi ko le ke jana chahiye, jiske sath aap 40 saal gujare,' she said. In a reference to Govinda's popular screen nickname, she added: 'Are Chichi bhaiya, kya ho gaya aapko? Itne bade Lalbaugcha ke Ganpati mein aap wo Rupa, Komal… ko lekar gaye.'
Rakhi's Appeal to Govinda — and Her Unusual Demand
Despite the sharp language, Sawant ended on a conciliatory note, urging Govinda to return to his wife. 'If someone who lost their way in the morning returns home by evening, they are not considered lost. Come on, forget everything, yaar. It's not a good thing. Don't do this, Govinda ji, you are such a good person,' she said.
In a characteristically theatrical move, Sawant also demanded ₹65,999 from Govinda, claiming she has spent that amount watching his films since childhood — a pointed jab at the actor's conduct.
Background: Govinda and Sunita Ahuja's Troubled Marriage
The marital troubles of Govinda and Sunita Ahuja have been in the public eye for some time. Sunita has made several public statements about Govinda's alleged relationship with his co-actor Komal Rani Swarnkar. Sawant has positioned herself as a vocal supporter of Sunita ever since the divorce filing came to light. This is not the first time the 'Bigg Boss' contestant has waded into a celebrity controversy with unsolicited but attention-grabbing commentary.
Whether Govinda or Komal Rani Swarnkar will respond to Sawant's remarks publicly remains to be seen.
