Govinda’s
daughter

visited
the
Criticare
Hospital
in
Juhu,
north
west
Mumbai,
to
check
on
her
father,
who


sustained
a
bullet
injury

on
the
leg
from
his
revolver.

After
exiting
the
hospital,
she
spoke
with
the
media
and
shared
Govinda’s
health
update.

“Papa
is
getting
better.
God
has
been
really
kind.
Please
keep
him
in
your
prayers
and
blessings.
Everything
is
fine.
He
has
come
back
from
ICU
to
the
normal
award.
Everything
is
good.
Now
he
is
healthy
and
happy,”
she
said.

Govinda’s
niece
Arti
Singh
with
her
husband
Dipak
Chauhan
also
visited
the
hospital
to
meet
her

mama
.

Earlier
in
the
day,
Govinda’s
wife
Sunita
spoke
with
the
media
and
expressed
her
gratitude
towards
well-wishers
for
their
support
and
reassured
everyone
that
Govinda
is
recuperating
well.

“He
is
better.
We
will
admit
him
to
the
normal
ward
today.
He
is
much
better
than
yesterday.
He
will
be
discharged
the
day
after
tomorrow.
With
everyone’s
blessings,
he
has
recovered.
He
has
a
great
fan
following,
so
people
are
praying
for
him.
I
would
like
to
tell
the
fans
to
not
panic,
he
is
fine,”
she
said.

The
incident
took
place
around
4:45
am
on
October
1,
when
Govinda’s
licenced
revolver
was
accidentally
discharged
while
he
was
putting
it
back
in
the
cupboard,
according
to
the
Mumbai
police.
He
was
preparing
to
leave
for
Kolkata
at
the
time.

“Govinda
was
getting
ready
to
leave
for
Kolkata
and
was
putting
his
licenced
revolver
back
in
the
cupboard
when
it
slipped
from
his
hand,
and
the
gun
went
off,
hitting
him
in
the
leg,”
Govinda’s
manager
Shashi
Sinha
told
ANI
over
the
phone.

“The
doctor
has
removed
the
bullet,
and
his
condition
is
stable.
He
is
still
in
hospital.”

Hours
after
the
incident,
Govinda,
in
an
audio
message,
thanked
the
doctor
who
treated
him
and
his
well-wishers.

After
learning
about
the
incident,
David
Dhawan
and
Shatrughan
Sinha
visited
the
hospital
to
inquire
about
Govinda’s
health.
