Bollywood actor Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg early this morning while preparing to leave for an appointment. The incident occurred around 4:45 am, and the actor was immediately rushed to CritiCare Hospital, where he is currently recovering. The news of this unusual injury has garnered significant attention, with fans and media outlets buzzing about the strange circumstances surrounding the mishap.
Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, later issued a statement to clarify the events that led to the accident. According to Sinha, the actor was preparing to leave for Kolkata and was handling his licensed revolver when it slipped from his hand. A bullet discharged accidentally, hitting Govinda in the leg. “The bullet has been removed, and Govinda’s condition is stable,” Sinha confirmed. “He is currently recovering in the hospital.”
The police are investigating the incident and have seized the actor’s weapon for further examination. Though no foul play is suspected, authorities are taking a thorough approach to ensure the circumstances are clear.
The actor’s injury has sparked considerable online discussion, with many expressing concern for his well-being, while others were startled by the unusual nature of the accident.
Govinda, a household name in Bollywood, was one of the most beloved stars of the 90s. He initially made a name for himself as an action hero in the 1980s but found major success in comedy throughout the 90s, where he became one of the biggest box office draws in Hindi cinema. Known for his high-energy dance moves and impeccable comic timing, Govinda delivered a string of hits over his career. However, his fortunes declined after 2007, with his last major commercial success being Partner alongside Salman Khan.
In addition to his film career, Govinda also ventured into politics, once serving as a Member of Parliament. Earlier this year, he joined the Shiv Sena party, further expanding his public profile.
As of now, the actor remains under medical supervision, with fans and well-wishers hoping for a swift recovery.
