The 60-year old, actor Govinda has released his first statement after suffering a bullet injury on Tuesday. He recorded an audio message from the hospital, expressing gratitude to his doctor and fans for their support. The 90s Bollywood star confirmed that the doctors successfully removed the bullet from his leg and that he is feeling better.
In his statement, he said, “This is Govinda. With the blessings of my fans, my parents, and God, I am doing better now. I suffered a bullet injury, but I am feeling fine now. They have removed the bullet. I thank my doctor, Dr. Aggarwal, and all my fans who prayed for my well-being. Thank you very much.”
Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg with his licensed revolver early on Tuesday morning. He was immediately rushed to the hospital following the accident. Reports indicate that the actor was preparing for an early flight to Kolkata when he accidentally dropped the revolver, causing it to misfire while he was cleaning it at around 4:45 am.
He has since been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Mumbai’s CritiCare Hospital. Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, was not in Mumbai at the time of the incident but has been informed that her husband is now fine and out of danger. Their daughter is currently with him in the hospital.
