Actor and Shiv Sena leader Govinda was shot accidentally at his Mumbai home on Tuesday. After being taken to a hospital, he is now safe. He was getting ready for a trip to Kolkata when the accident happened at 4:45 in the morning. His knee has been injured by a gunshot.
The 60-year-old was brought into the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. Shashi Sinha, Govinda’s manager, stated that the actor was preparing to travel to Kolkata. He unintentionally discharged a bullet after dropping his pistol.
“Actor and Shiv Sena leader Govinda was getting ready to leave for Kolkata. He kept his licensed revolver in the cupboard when it fell from his hand and a bullet got fired which hit his leg. The doctor has removed the bullet and his condition is fine. He is in the hospital right now,” the manager told.
