Bollywood icon and Shiv Sena leader Govinda suffered a shocking accident early this morning when he accidentally shot himself in the leg with his own revolver. The incident, confirmed by Mumbai Police, occurred at his residence around 4:45 AM as he was preparing to leave for a flight to Kolkata. While handling his licensed firearm, a misfire took place, with the bullet striking his knee. The beloved actor was immediately rushed to CritiCare Hospital, where he underwent treatment. Sources from the hospital have confirmed that Govinda is now stable and out of danger.
Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, told ANI, “He was getting ready to leave for Kolkata when his revolver accidentally discharged. Thankfully, the bullet was safely removed, and he is doing fine.”
This incident has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with fans flooding social media, praying for the actor’s swift recovery. Govinda, known for his unparalleled comedic timing and box office dominance in the 80s and 90s, has been away from the silver screen for a while. His last major film, Rangeela Raja (2019), didn’t fare well commercially, marking a downturn in his film career after a string of hits like Coolie No. 1, Partner, and Haseena Maan Jaayegi.
While Govinda has maintained a relatively low profile recently, focusing on his political career, today’s unfortunate event brings the legendary actor back into the limelight, though not under the best circumstances.
As investigations continue, the police have taken possession of the revolver, and further details about the accident are awaited. The Bollywood star’s health update remains a top priority, with fans and well-wishers eager for positive news.
Stay tuned as we bring you the latest developments on Govinda’s recovery and the ongoing investigation into this shocking mishap.
