Shashi Sinha, Govinda’s longtime secretary, passed away at 4 PM in Mumbai.
Bollywood is in mourning following the sudden passing of Shashi Sinha, the longtime secretary and confidant of actor Govinda. Sinha breathed his last at 4 PM today at his residence in Niranjan Society, Chikuwadi, Borivali West, leaving behind a legacy of loyalty and professionalism in the industry.
The news of his demise sent shockwaves through Bollywood, with Govinda rushing to his residence to offer condolences. Eyewitnesses described the actor as visibly distraught, unable to hold back tears while comforting Sinha’s family. The deep bond they shared extended far beyond professional commitments—Sinha was a pillar of support in both Govinda’s career and personal life.
Having managed Govinda’s work for years, Sinha played an instrumental role in shaping the star’s professional trajectory. From overseeing Bollywood projects to handling public appearances and endorsements, he was more than just a manager—he was a trusted aide who remained by Govinda’s side through thick and thin.
Sinha’s funeral is expected to take place at 10 PM tonight, with close friends, family, and members of the film fraternity expected to pay their final respects. His absence leaves a void not only in Govinda’s life but also in the wider Bollywood community, where he was widely respected for his dedication and discretion.
Beyond the film industry, Sinha was a familiar face in Mumbai’s social circles, known for his professionalism and steadfast loyalty. His passing comes just days after he had publicly addressed rumors surrounding Govinda’s marriage, dismissing reports of a separation between the actor and his wife, Sunita Ahuja.
In an interview with IANS, Sinha had played down the speculation, stating that no formal legal steps had been taken regarding a separation. He noted that while Sunita had sent a legal notice, there was no clarity on its contents. He further highlighted the complex nature of the couple’s relationship, refuting claims that they were living separately.
“They don’t live separately,” Sinha had stated. “Govinda spends most of his time at his bungalow, while Sunita ji resides in a flat. However, that doesn’t mean he is not involved in his family’s well-being.”
Sinha had also commented on Sunita Ahuja’s past statements about Govinda, suggesting that such remarks often stirred public curiosity. His words had sought to provide clarity amid swirling rumors, standing firmly in Govinda’s corner as he had done for years.
