After undergoing treatment for three days, Bollywood actor Govinda was discharged from Criti Care Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai, on Friday (October 4). The actor had been hospitalised since October 1, when he accidentally shot himself in the leg while handling his licensed revolver.
Govinda, seated in a wheelchair with a cast on his left leg, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and well wishes. “I have received love from all quarters of the country,” he said. “I thank people who prayed for me and my well-being. I thank all those who love me, my fans, the press, and people from the government and the police. I thank everyone; with your blessings, today I am fine. Jai Mata di.”
The incident occurred when Govinda was attempting to store his licensed revolver in his almirah. According to reports, the gun accidentally discharged, hitting the actor in the leg. Fortunately, the injury was not life-threatening.
Govinda’s doctor, Dr. Agarwal, provided an update on the actor’s condition to news agency ANI. “He will have to rest for three to four weeks. His physiotherapy is ongoing, but he is doing much better and is quite cheerful, which is why we are discharging him. He will rest at home.” Dr. Agarwal added that Govinda’s diet is being managed by specialised dieticians, and he is eating well.
The doctor emphasised the importance of post-operative care, advising Govinda to follow a strict routine to ensure a smooth recovery. “He will need to take care and follow all the post operative care routine,” Dr. Agarwal added.
Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, had earlier said, “Sunita also shared an update on Govinda’s recovery, stating, “Doctors have said that Govinda will need bed-rest for the next six weeks and keep a check on his diet as he cannot exercise right now. We will not be allowing too many visitors as he can get an infection. He needs to rest now.” She humorously added, “He has danced for so many years, now he needs to rest. Khaa pee ke tandurust karke nachwayenge unhe (We’ll make him dance once he fully recovers). But he is otherwise doing well.”
