Govinda’s accident
The actor was hospitalised in October after getting wounded in the leg due to the accidental discharge of his gun in his Mumbai home. Govinda was rushed to the hospital on October 1 after his licenced revolver allegedly misfired.
According to the Mumbai Police, Govinda was preparing to leave for Kolkata and was putting his revolver back in the cupboard when it accidentally discharged. Govinda was discharged from the hospital three days after the incident. He had then told media persons,
“I was about to leave for a show in Kolkata. It was about 5 in the morning. Aur uss time par vo giri aur chal padi (and it just fell and went off). I was shocked by what happened, and when I looked down, I saw a fountain of blood. Then I made a video and spoke to the doctor and got admitted.”
