Sunita Ahuja Calls Kashmera Shah Her ‘Powerful Bahu’

Published 1 October 2026

Sunita Ahuja publicly praised Kashmera Shah as her “powerful bahu” at a Mumbai gathering on Wednesday, as the two shared an affectionate exchange amid controversy over allegations involving Ahuja, her husband Govinda and actor Komal Rani Swarnkar. Shah described herself and Ahuja as a “power couple” and said she had learned from her aunt-in-law. The exchange was reported at a family gathering, with accounts differing on whether it was a party or birthday celebration. The interaction offered a public show of warmth between Ahuja and Shah, who is married to Ahuja’s nephew, actor and comedian Krushna Abhishek. Shah kissed Ahuja after the compliment, and Ahuja referred to her as their powerful daughter-in-law. Their reunion follows years of estrangement between the families and a public reconciliation in April 2026, according to reports. Since then, Ahuja and Shah have appeared together more warmly in public. The gathering came amid public claims concerning Ahuja and Govinda’s marriage and Govinda’s relationship with Swarnkar. Swarnkar’s social-media comments included an accusation that Ahuja had tried to kill Govinda.
