While talking to Zoom TV, Pahlaj Nihlani shared, "I was just happy to see him happy and normal. There are all kinds of speculative reports about Govinda's health. Someone says he was âable to talk.' Arrey bhai, what do you mean by he was able to talk? Why wouldn't he be able to talk? Goli paon mein lagi hai, mooh mein nahin (the gunshot wound is in his leg, not mouth). I request his so-called friends to stop giving misleading alarmist reports. Govinda is fine, very normal, and looking forward to returning home," he added.
Sunita Ahuja earlier shared Govinda's health update and said, "He is better. We will admit him to the normal ward today. He is much better than yesterday. He will be discharged the day after tomorrow. With everyone's blessings, he has recovered... He has a great fan following, so people are praying for him... I would like to tell the fans to not panic; he will be dancing soon."
The incident took place early morning when Govinda's licensed revolver accidentally discharged while he was putting it back in the cupboard, according to Mumbai Police. He was preparing to leave for Kolkata at the time. Govinda's manager, Shashi Sinha, told ANI over the phone, "Govinda was getting ready to leave for Kolkata and was putting his licensed revolver back in the cupboard when it slipped from his hand, and the gun went off, hitting him in the leg. The doctor has removed the bullet, and his condition is stable. He is still in the hospital."
Hours after the incident, Govinda, in an audio message, thanked the doctor who treated him and his well-wishers. "Hello, this is Govinda. With the blessings of my fans, my parents, and God, I am doing better now. I was hit by a bullet, which has now been removed. I thank the doctor here, Dr. Agarwal ji. I thank all of you for your prayers," Govinda said in Hindi in the audio message.
