Govinda
sustained
a
bullet
injury
on
his
leg
as
his
licensed
revolver
misfired,
police
said.

The
60-year-old
actor
later
issued
a
statement,
informing
his
fans
that
doctors
had
removed
the
bullet
and
he
was
alright
due
to
his
fans’
affection
and
God’s
blessings.

‘With
the
blessings
of
my
fans,
my
parents
and
God,
I
am
doing
better
now.
I
was
hit
by
a
bullet,
which
has
now
been
removed.
I
thank
the
doctor
here,
Dr
Agarwalji.
I
thank
all
of
you
for
your
prayers,’
Govinda
said
in
an
audio
message.

The
actor,
who
was
hospitalised
after
the
accident,
is
out
of
danger
and
recuperating
at
his
home,
a
Mumbai
police
official
said.

Govinda
was
about
to
leave
from
his
Juhu
residence
around
4.45
am
on
Tuesday,
when
the
revolver
misfired
and
a
bullet
hit
his
leg.

The
actor
hasn’t
lodged
any
complaint.

“We
had
a
6
am
flight
to
catch
for
a
show
in
Kolkata
and
I
had
reached
the
airport.
Govindaji
was
about
to
leave
his
residence
for
the
airport
when
this
accident
happened,”
the
actor’s
manager
Shashi
Sinha
said.

“The
revolver
apparently
fell
down
while
being
kept
in
the
cupboard
and
misfired.
It
is
due
to
God’s
grace
that
Govindaji
sustained
only
leg
injury
and
it
was
nothing
serious,”
he
said.

Govinda
was
taken
for
treatment
to
the
nearby
Criticare
hospital.
