Actor Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, has spoken openly about the health challenges that led to her voluntary exit from Lock Upp 2. Despite enjoying her time on the reality show and forming close bonds with fellow contestants, Sunita said ongoing health concerns—including anxiety, chest pain, diabetes, and menopause—made it impossible for her to continue.
She exited the Netflix reality series during the weekend episode, where Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan were joined by Govinda and Tina Ahuja.
Sunita Ahuja Explains the Reason Behind Her Exit
Before leaving the show, Sunita shared with the hosts that she had entered Lock Upp 2 to experience what reality television was like. However, she soon realised the format was not suitable for her because of her declining health.
She explained that her diabetes was not under control and that she had been experiencing anxiety linked to menopause. Along with these issues, she also suffered from chest pain and breathing difficulties, prompting her to repeatedly request permission to leave the show.
Considering her medical condition, the show’s hosts and production team approved her request, allowing her to step away from the competition.
‘I Feel Better Now,’ Says Sunita
After returning home, Sunita said her health had improved significantly.
Reflecting on her experience, she shared that she thoroughly enjoyed her journey on Lock Upp 2 and built meaningful friendships with many contestants. She especially mentioned that Ram Kapoor became one of her closest friends during the show.
Sunita added that if her health had not worsened, she would have happily continued competing until the end.
Praises the Show’s Team for Their Support
Sunita also expressed gratitude to Netflix, producer Ekta Kapoor, and the entire production team for prioritising the safety and well-being of contestants throughout the show.
She appreciated the care she received during her stay and acknowledged the support provided whenever her health became a concern.
Emotional Bond with Riteish Deshmukh
One of the most emotional moments for Sunita came during her farewell, when host Riteish Deshmukh comforted her with a hug.
She said the gesture reminded her of her son, Yash, leaving her overwhelmed with emotion. Sunita also thanked both Riteish and Farah Khan for treating her with kindness, respect, and genuine affection throughout her time on the show.
Rules Out Returning as a Wildcard Contestant
Although many reality shows bring back contestants through wildcard entries, Sunita made it clear that she has no plans to return to Lock Upp 2.
She explained that, given her current health condition, participating in physically and emotionally demanding reality shows is no longer practical.
However, she expressed interest in working with Netflix again in a different capacity, suggesting she would be open to appearing as a judge or taking on other entertainment projects that are less physically demanding.
Yash Ahuja’s Film Debut Coming Soon
While Sunita has stepped away from reality television, her family has exciting projects ahead.
Her son, Yash Ahuja, is set to make his Bollywood debut in a film backed by Ekta Kapoor, which is expected to release in September. The project will also mark Sunita Ahuja’s silver-screen debut, as she will portray Yash’s mother in the film.
Conclusion
Sunita Ahuja’s exit from Lock Upp 2 highlights the importance of prioritising health over professional commitments. Despite enjoying her journey and forming lasting friendships on the show, she chose to step away after experiencing anxiety, chest pain, breathing difficulties, and complications related to diabetes and menopause. While she has ruled out returning to reality television for now, Sunita remains enthusiastic about exploring new opportunities in the entertainment industry that better suit her health and lifestyle.
