As reported by the Indian Express, Govinda was preparing to leave for Kolkata when the accident occurred. His manager, Shashi Sinha, shared the details of the incident and confirmed that Govinda had been in stable condition afterward.
The accident took place when Govinda was putting his licensed revolver in a cupboard and it accidentally fell, discharging a bullet. Shashi explained that the injury was below Govinda’s left knee, but the bullet had been removed.
In an audio message shared with the media by Shiv Sena leader Krishna Hegde, Govinda expressed his gratitude to his supporters and well-wishers.
He said, “Namaste, pranam. This is Govinda. Thanks to your blessings, my parents’ blessings, and the grace of my guru… I was shot, but the bullet has been removed. I am deeply thankful to the doctors here, especially Dr. Agarwal. Thank you all for your prayers and support.”
Govinda’s most recent television appearance was in March 2024, when he served as a judge on the dance reality show Dance Deewane, where he regularly recounted anecdotes from his thriving Bollywood career.
Following the show’s conclusion, he turned his attention to politics and has since been actively involved in various Shiv Sena events.
