In a shocking incident early this morning, Bollywood veteran and former Member of Parliament Govinda was injured in an accidental shooting at his Juhu residence. The mishap occurred around 4 a.m. as the actor was preparing to leave for an event in Kolkata.
According to reports from Juhu Police, Govinda was cleaning his licensed revolver when it slipped from his hands and discharged upon hitting the ground. The bullet grazed his leg below the knee, prompting immediate medical attention at CritiCare Asia Hospital in Andheri West.
Hospital authorities confirmed that Govinda is now stable and out of danger, though he remains under medical observation for further treatment and recovery.
The Juhu Police have filed an incident report and are currently investigating the case. Authorities plan to take statements from the actor and any witnesses once they receive clearance from medical professionals.
While initial findings suggest the shooting was purely accidental, the police are proceeding with caution in their inquiries.
Govinda, a beloved figure in Hindi cinema with a brief political career, has yet to release a public statement following the incident.
