Ssunita Ahuja: Menopause, Marriage & Moving On

Ssunita Ahuja is currently prioritizing her well-being during menopause, expressing a need to avoid marital stress. Reflecting on her 40-year relationship with Govinda, she stated she has evolved and built her own identity, no longer tolerating situations that cause distress. Ahuja encouraged women to assert their rights and speak their truth, even in the face of familial respect. She indicated that forgiveness towards Govinda is possible if he demonstrates genuine change and adheres to her principles.

She shared that open communication has not always yielded clarity, and at this stage of life, she seeks support rather than pressure. Ahuja, who married Govinda in 1987, acknowledged that differing perspectives exist within their marriage. She believes that as individuals age, their spouse and children become their primary support system. The couple has two children, Tina and Yashvardhan.
