Govinda Issues Legal Warning Over False Marriage Rumours
Govinda is a famous Indian actor. He has sent out a public notice. A public notice is a formal message for everyone to see. He wants to stop false stories about him.
Some people are saying he is getting a court marriage. A court marriage is a wedding done in a court, not with big ceremonies. Other people are saying he is getting a divorce. A divorce means a husband and wife end their marriage. Govinda says these stories are not true.
This is happening during a difficult time between Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja. News reports say there is a spat between them. A spat is a small argument or fight.
Govinda has given a strong warning. He says he will take legal action against anyone who shares false stories. Legal action means going to court to solve a problem.
He is asking for damages of Rs 100 crore. Damages is money that a person must pay for causing harm. This shows Govinda is very serious about stopping the rumours.
