We just wish him well and he’s fine and safe and that’s all. Our love and prayers are with him. Hopefully he recovers quickly from all this.”
Hours after he was admitted to hospital, Govinda gave an update on his health by releasing an audio clip. The actor said, “Namahskaar, pranaam, Main Hoon Givinda. You are a blessing from everyone and a blessing from Father Mother and in the name of Master’s goodness. The bullet that hit me, who fired it. Who gave the doctor the name Dhaniyawad? What did doctor Adarniya Agarwal do and it is everyone’s prayers. Thanks to you guys. (I am Govinda. Thanks to your blessings, my parents’ blessings, and my teacher’s grace, I was shot, but the bullet has come out. I thank the doctors here, especially Dr. Agarwal, and I appreciate all your prayers).
Govinda’s manager Shashi Sinha said that the actor was keeping his licensed pistol in the cupboard when it fell on the ground and misfired. The incident occurred when Govinda was alone at home and preparing to leave for Kolkata. His wife Sunita Ahuja was in Kolkata at the time and has since left for Mumbai after she heard about the fire.
“We had to fly out at 6 am to catch a show in Kolkata and I had reached the airport. Govinda ji was about to leave his residence for the airport when this accident happened,” said Govinda’s manager. “By the grace of God, Govinda ji only had a leg injury and nothing serious.”
According to the management, Govinda’s condition is now stable. His daughter Tina was with him. The actor had to spend at least two days in the hospital.
