Bollywood superstar Govinda has left an unforgettable impression on audiences with his exceptional acting, making people laugh and cry over the years. Though he has stepped away from films, he continues to make headlines. Lately, rumors about his divorce from wife Sunita Ahuja have been circulating on social media, suggesting that the couple might part ways after 37 years of marriage.
While Govinda’s family has several well-known faces in the entertainment industry—such as his nephew Krushna Abhishek and nieces Aarti Singh and Ragini Khanna—there’s another talented actress in the family who was once a household name in the TV industry. We’re talking about Saumya Seth, a former television star who ruled the screen before unexpectedly walking away from acting.
Saumya Seth’s Journey in the TV Industry
Saumya Seth, Govinda’s niece and Krushna Abhishek’s cousin, was a popular face in Indian television. She first rose to fame with the hit TV serial "Navya… Nayi Dhadkan Naye Sawaal", capturing the audience’s hearts. Over time, she featured in several other shows, including:
- "Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat"
- "V The Serial"
- "Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsurat"
Despite her growing success, Saumya’s career in television was brief. She debuted in 2011 and bid farewell to the screen in 2016, after playing a role in "Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat." In just five years, she became a fan favorite, but personal choices led her to step away from the entertainment industry completely.
Why Saumya Left Acting
Interestingly, Saumya Seth’s first on-screen appearance was not on television but in Bollywood! She was seen as a background dancer in Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s 2007 film "Om Shanti Om." However, her real journey in entertainment began with television.
Despite getting consistent work and gaining popularity, Saumya made the unexpected decision to leave acting. At the peak of her career, she chose marriage over stardom and moved abroad after tying the knot with an NRI businessman.
A New Chapter: Life After Acting
Saumya married Arun Kapoor, who lived in the United States, but their relationship lasted only two years. Soon after their wedding, shocking reports emerged that she had become a victim of domestic violence. Facing a difficult period in her life, she eventually decided to separate from Arun.
However, life took a positive turn for her in 2023, when love entered her life once again. She married architect and designer Shubham Chuhadia and has since moved forward with a fresh start. Saumya has a son from her first marriage and now lives happily with her husband and child.
Today, she has completely stepped away from the entertainment industry and has established herself in the real estate business. She resides abroad and remains active on social media, where she frequently shares glimpses of her new life.
From a rising TV star to an entrepreneur living overseas, Saumya Seth’s journey has been full of ups and downs. But through it all, she has shown resilience, proving that sometimes, life’s most unexpected turns lead to new beginnings.
