Actor Govindas wife Sunita Ahuja has revealed that she used to keep veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendras photographs by her side when she was pregnant because she wanted a handsome child.
Govinda and Sunita appeared on "The Kapil Sharma Show" to promote his film "Aa Gaya Hero".
During one of the conversations in the show, Sunita went on to mention that she wanted a handsome son like Amitabh or Dharmendra.
It all happened when Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is seen as a permanent guest on the show, started praising Govinda's son Yashwardhan's look.
"Sunita mentioned that when she was pregnant, she used to have the pictures of the two Bollywood stars. Govinda, Kapil Sharma, Sidhu and everyone present on the set could not hold their laughter," said a source from the set.
