Govinda’s wife, Sunita, expressed her gratitude towards fans and well-wishers, confirming that the actor is on the mend. “He is better. We will move him to a normal ward today. He is much better than yesterday and will be discharged the day after tomorrow. With everyone’s blessings, he has recovered,” she said, asking fans not to worry.
According to Mumbai Police, the accident occurred around 4:45 am on Tuesday when Govinda was preparing to leave for Kolkata. While putting his licensed revolver back in the cupboard, it accidentally discharged, hitting him in the leg. His manager, Shashi Sinha, confirmed that the bullet has been removed, and Govinda is now stable.
In an audio message released after the incident, Govinda expressed his gratitude. “With the blessings of my fans, my parents, and God, I am doing better now. I was hit by a bullet, which has now been removed. I thank the doctor here, Dr. Agarwal ji, and all of you for your prayers,” he said.
On Wednesday morning, politician Kripa Shankar Singh also visited Govinda. After meeting the actor, he told the media, “He is fine. Thanks to the doctors for taking care of him. He will be discharged soon.”
Fans of Govinda continue to send their best wishes for his speedy recovery.
