Bollywood actor Govinda made his fans worried after the news of him being accidentally shot with his own gun surfaced. He got injured while getting to leave home on the morning of October 1. The actor was immediately rushed to the nearby hospital. He has now issued his first official statement after being injured.
In the note, he can be heard saying, “Namaskar, pranaam, main hoon Govinda, aap sab logon ke aashirwad aur maa-baap ka aashirwad, guru ki kripa ke wajah se goli lagi thi par woh nikaal di gayi hai. Main dhanyavad deta hoon yahan ke doctor ka, aadarniya doctor Agarwal ji ka aur aap sab logon ki prarthana jo hai, aap logon ka dhanyavad, pranaam (I am Govinda. Thanks to your blessings, my parents’ blessings, and the grace of my guru, I was shot, but the bullet has been taken out. I thank the doctors here, especially Dr. Agarwal, and I appreciate all your prayers).”
According to the reports by Aaj Tak, the incident happened around 4:45 a.m., while Govinda was keeping his licensed gun in the case. It slipped out of his hand and got misfired. The actor was alone in his house at that time and was getting ready to head out from his home to reach Kolkata.
