In a shocking incident, Bollywood star Govinda was admitted to a Mumbai hospital late on Tuesday night, reportedly after losing consciousness at his residence. The incident comes just a day after the actor visited veteran star Dharmendra, who is still under treatment at Breach Candy Hospital. Govinda was admitted to CritiCare Asia Multispeciality Hospital in Juhu and is currently under observation.
Why is Govinda Hospitalized?
According to sources close to him, Govinda had fainted at home after feeling uneasy following which he was rushed to the emergency ward. His lawyer Lalit Bindal said that the actor had been disoriented before the incident.
Examinations by doctors have been completed, and they are still waiting for a neurological consultation that would determine what happens next. Reports indicate the 61-year-old star is stable and conscious, though he remains under medical supervision for further evaluation.
The hospitalisation came barely 24 hours after his visit to actor Dharmendra, who is recovering from a prolonged illness. Videos of Govinda exiting the hospital with a serious expression surfaced online earlier this week, prompting fans to express concern about both actors’ health.
What Did The Doctor’s Say on Govinda’s Health?
The incident has come as a shock for the fans and the film fraternity alike, especially since Govinda faced a similar health scare last year.
He was hospitalized in October 2024 for accidentally shooting his leg when his licensed revolver misfired. The actor recovered swiftly from the incident, but doctors have since then advised him to look after his health.
Preliminary reports from the hospital indicate the episode could be related to exhaustion or a sudden blood pressure drop, but that will have to be confirmed after the neuro-evaluation.
The actor has been busy with personal commitments and reportedly was under stress, which could have contributed to the sudden spell of unconsciousness.
How is Govinda’s Health Now?
The sources within the hospital have confirmed that the vital parameters of Govinda were normal and that he was responding to the treatment provided.
Family members, including wife Sunita Ahuja and daughter Tina Ahuja, reached the hospital early in the morning. A number of fans have congregated outside the hospital and prayed for his early recovery.
Once the medical team finalises the reports, an official statement would be issued by the actor’s spokesperson. Meanwhile, the doctors have advised Govinda to take complete rest and avoid public interaction for some time until he recuperates fully.
What is Govinda’s Next Movie?
The actor, known for his impeccable comic timing and unmatched energy, was planning a comeback with a new film project slated for next year, but sources close to the team hint at a possible delay in the shooting schedule. Govinda’s last film outing was in Rangeela Raja (2019).
Given his stature as one of the most beloved entertainers to have ever graced Hindi cinema, news of his hospitalization has sent shockwaves across the industry. Fellow actors, producers, and directors have reportedly reached out to his family, sending in their best wishes for his recovery.
