About Govinda's accident

The actor’s injury occurred last month when he accidentally misfired a gun in the early hours of the morning. According to reports, the small part of the gun's lock had broken, causing the accidental discharge. At the time, there were six bullets loaded in the gun, one of which ended up injuring his foot. After the incident, Govinda was immediately rushed to a hospital in Juhu. Reports suggest that the actor was preparing for a trip to Kolkata when the unfortunate accident occurred. 

Govinda was discharged from the hospital three days after the incident. The actor, who is a member of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, was accompanied by his wife Sunita Ahuja and daughter Tina Ahuja when he made his public appearance. 

As he greeted the media and fans, he offered a gesture of thanks with folded hands. Speaking about the incident, he shared, "I was about to leave for a show in Kolkata. It was about 5 in the morning. Aur uss time par vo giri aur chal padi (and it just fell and went off). I was shocked by what happened and when I looked down, I saw a fountain of blood. Then I made a video and spoke to the doctor and got admitted," he explained to reporters gathered outside his home.
