Govinda Says He Was ‘Shocked’ When Bullet Hit His Leg: Saw a Fountain of Blood

Bollywood actor and Shiv Sena leader Govinda addressed the media for the first time after being discharged from the hospital, where he received treatment for an accidental gunshot wound. The 60-year-old actor expressed heartfelt gratitude to the medical staff, politicians, and fellow artists who reached out during his recovery. He also explained the reason for keeping a gun, stating, “Fame is a flame.”

“I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of the hospital for taking care of me during this critical time. Thank you to everyone, all the politicians and artists who called and visited me. I have no words to express my gratitude,” Govinda said.

Recalling the incident, Govinda clarified, “The wound is quite deep. It was quite shocking. I was leaving for a show in Kolkata at around 4:45-5 am. At that moment, my gun fell and fired. I felt a jolt and saw blood coming out.” He emphasized that the accident should not be linked to anything else.

Reflecting on life’s unpredictability, Govinda added, “When we wake up in the morning and get ready, we feel everything is well, and there are no worries. I’m a bit of a happy-go-lucky person. I didn’t think about this, but we should always be vigilant. I hope nobody has to go through this.”

When asked about the reason for keeping a gun, Govinda expressed, “Fame is a flame. You have to be aware of the flame around you. When you achieve fame, you should be careful, as while many people love you, some are jealous too. Jealousy is fine, but it brings pain when someone becomes competitive.”

Before leaving for home, the actor once again expressed gratitude for the support he received from his fans, stating, “I am grateful for all the prayers of my fans and media.”

Earlier, Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, updated fans about the actor’s health, stating that the doctor had advised him six weeks of bed rest.
