Ssunita Ahuja on joining Lock Upp 2: Govinda ne mujhe phool ki tarah rakha hai, but I am strong enough to handle anything
Call
it her bindaas attitude or candid personality, Ssunita Ahuja has
steadily become a favourite among reality show makers. After brief
appearances in Laughter Chefs: Unlimited Entertainment and Maa Hai Na,
she is now seen as a participant on Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa. Ahead of
joining the show, Ssunita told us about what prompted her to say yes,
how her family reacted and the one boundary she has no intention of
allowing anyone to cross.
Asked why she chose to take up the show at this stage of her life, Ssunita replied, “I have been offered many reality shows, but I chose Lock Upp because Ekta Kapoor loves me and I love her too. She gave my son (Yashvardhan Ahuja) his Bollywood break, a film I am also part of. So, it felt right. Besides, participating in a show at any age doesn’t make a difference to me. I like to enjoy life and meet new people. I will also get to understand the younger generation and their perspective. I am probably the eldest there, and I don’t think anyone will misbehave with me. I am sure I will gel with everyone. I believe I will handle everything well; the rest is destiny.”
Addressing the idea that truth can sometimes become a punishment, she disagreed. “I have never faced problems because of my honesty. Nobody can take my honesty for granted. I am what I am, and people know I don’t lie. I am an open book and don’t get scared of being watched 24/7.”
Speaking
about her husband Govinda’s reaction, she shared, “We have reached a
stage in our marriage where, after 40 years together, I don’t have to
ask him about every decision. However, when he learnt about it, he was
tense and worried that someone might misbehave with his wife. He said,
‘Maine apni biwi ko phool ki tarah rakha hai. Isko andar kisi ne dukh de
diya toh woh rone lagegi.’ He kept asking why I was doing the show.
Govinda ko pata hai uski ek hi biwi hai, isliye usko itni tension hoti
hai ki meri biwi ko koi rulaaye nahi, koi dukh na de. What he doesn’t
know is that his wife is very strong, sab kuchh jhel sakti hai aur sabse
ladd bhi sakti hai.”
She added, “My children were a little scared because they have never seen me away from home for so many days. They feel I am very emotional and might break down if someone misbehaves. But yeh sab game ka part hai.”
She was equally clear about drawing boundaries when it came to her personal life, particularly amid speculation surrounding her marriage. “This show is not about marriage and I wouldn’t want anybody discussing it. Govinda and I have had our ups and downs, but I hope people understand and stop talking about us, just like I have stopped. I have a happy family, aur bure time ke baad achha time aata hai. Family ka already bohot tamaasha ho gaya hai. Jo khel khelna hai khelo, par family par nahi. Main kisi ko koi clarification nahi dene wali hoon. I am answerable to myself, no one else,” she signed off.
