Reflecting on her early interactions with Dharmendra, Sunita recalled performing with him on stage. “I had performed with Dharam ji on Sony TV for the song ‘Chalkaye Jaam’. Sharing the stage with him was very special for me. I respect him and his family a lot. I’m very close to Esha Deol too… my entire family is. We are big fans of Dharmendra ji.”

She further revealed, “In fact, I married Govinda because I felt he resembled Dharmendra. He’s not as handsome; Dharmendra ji was the most handsome man in the industry. He was a true He-Man of cinema and worked till the very end. He was a genuine desi, a large-hearted man.”

Sunita also mentioned meeting Dharmendra a few months ago during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. “I met him two months earlier during Ganpati. I went with my son, Yashvardhan. Esha had invited me for Ganpati. When Yash was born, I always wished he would have qualities and looks like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra.”

She attended the prayer meet with her son, Yashvardhan Ahuja. Others present included Mahima Chaudhary and Bharat Takhtani, the former husband of Esha Deol.
