‘The Bullet Has Been Removed’, Says Govinda Regarding Gunshot Injury

It appears that Shiv Sena leader Govinda, who also has a prominent career in Bollywood, recently sustained a gunshot injury after accidentally discharging his licensed revolver at his home in Mumbai.

The incident happened early in the morning, around 4:45 am, as Govinda was preparing to travel to Kolkata. While putting his revolver back into the cupboard, the firearm misfired, causing a bullet to hit him in the leg.

Govinda was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to have the bullet removed. He has since reassured his fans that he is doing well, expressing gratitude to the doctors and his well-wishers through an audio message shared by Krishna Hegde, a member of the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction). Govinda said, “With the blessings of you all and my parents, the bullet has been removed.”

His manager, Shashi Sinha, provided additional details, confirming that Govinda’s condition is stable, and he remains in the hospital as a precaution. The Mumbai Police also confirmed that the injury was not serious.

Govinda, who began his acting career in the late 1980s, is widely recognized for his roles in Bollywood films, known for his versatility in action, drama, comedy, and dance. His hit films from the 1980s and 1990s, such as Ilzaam, Swarg, and Hum, have made him a beloved figure in Indian cinema.
