During her appearance in a recent YouTube conversation with Usha Kakade, Sunita shared the tragic incident candidly, calling it the toughest moment she has ever lived through.
For the unversed, the couple, who married in 1987, had kept their relationship under wraps for a while until after the birth of their first daughter, Tina. Sharing the story, Sunita revealed that her second daughter was born prematurely and struggled with severe health complications after birth.
“When my second daughter was born, she was born prematurely. She was in my arms for three months, but her lungs didn’t develop properly. One night, she couldn’t breathe, and she passed away in my arms. That was extremely difficult for me. I could have had two daughters and a son today,” she recalled.
Sunita went on to share that the events leading up to the premature delivery had a stark contrast to her first, smooth pregnancy. She also admitted she was unaware of the risks and as a result, exerted herself unknowingly during frequent travel with Govinda while carrying the second baby.
Earlier in a 2024 interview, Sunita had spoken about her second daughter, saying, “She was born at eight months, but we lost her after three months. I was travelling too much with Govinda. I didn’t know that I shouldn’t have done heavy lifting. I carried heavy chocolate bags from Singapore, and my water burst when I reached Mumbai.”

After tying the knot in 1987, Givinda and Sunita welcomed their first child, daughter Tina Ahuja, in 1989. The couple later welcomed their son, Yashvardhan, in 1997. Tina has already appeared in films, while Yashvardhan is expected to make his acting debut soon.
The couple has often been in the spotlight owing to their personal and professional journeys. There have been reports of trouble in their marriage, too, which they have addressed and denied.
