Bollywood actor Govinda, who accidentally got shot in his leg from his own licensed revolver, is recovering well and will soon be discharged, according to his wife, Sunita Ahuja. The incident occurred at his Mumbai residence while the actor was handling his licenced revolver, which accidentally discharged. Sunita informed reporters that Govinda’s condition has improved, and he will be moved to a normal ward today, with discharge expected in two days.

Mumbai police and crime branch officials are investigating the matter, although no complaint has been filed. Govinda was reportedly alone at the time of the incident, which occurred early Tuesday morning. His manager, Shashi Sinha, explained that the actor was preparing to leave for Kolkata when his gun slipped and went off, hitting him in the leg. Doctors have removed the bullet, and Govinda is in a stable condition.

Close friends and colleagues, including director David Dhawan and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, visited the hospital to check on Govinda’s health. Sunita expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers from fans and reassured them that the actor is doing well.

As Ramesh Sippy’s Shakti completes 42 years, Anil Kapoor took a moment to remember the film that played a significant role in his career early on. Kapoor shared heartfelt memories, expressing his gratitude to Javed Akhtar for recommending him and recalling how nervous he felt at the time. He thanked the late Smita Patil for her warmth and kindness, as she offered him her room and made him feel like family during the shoot.

Kapoor reflected on how Shakti, which featured cinema icons like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, gave him “unforgettable memories” and helped shape his journey as an actor. He described his time on set as a learning experience that continues to inspire him to this day, with memories “etched in his heart forever.”

On the career front, 2024 has been monumental for Kapoor. He delivered a box-office hit with Fighter, earned an Emmy nomination for The Night Manager, and impressed several people with his performance in Animal. Fans are now eagerly awaiting his upcoming film Subedaar, which marks his first collaboration with director Suresh Triveni.
