Last Tuesday was a day of misfortune for Bollywood star Govinda. He suffered an accidental discharge while cleaning his revolver, resulting in a bullet wound to his knee. He was quickly rushed to Mumbai's Criticare Hospital, where doctors successfully removed the bullet. After spending three days under their care, Govinda has now been discharged and will be on bed rest for six weeks.
Govinda Charged with New Life
Looking spirited in a wheelchair outside the hospital, Govinda expressed heartfelt thanks to everyone around. Accompanied by his daughter Tina and wife Sunita, Govinda remarked in an interview, 'In every temple where prayers were made, in every place where blessings were bestowed, I express my gratitude. Special thanks to the police and the honorable Shinde of the state for their support. Your care ensures my safety. Jai Mata Di.'
Family was visibly by his side through this trial. Especially wife Sunita Ahuja, who stood like a rock during this tough time. Daughter Tina Ahuja orchestrated a special ritual in Ujjain's Mahakal temple, involving 51 priests chanting the MahaMrityunjay mantra for her father's recovery.
