Reportedly at a press conference held soon after his discharge from the hospital, govinda recounted the details of the accidental shooting incident that occurred on october 1. “Initially, I couldn’t believe it had happened,” he said. “It is a deep wound, and I couldn’t believe it had happened. I thought, ‘What just occurred?’.” The actor shared that he was alone at the time of the incident, which took place early in the morning between 4:45-5:00 am as he was getting ready to travel to Kolkata.
Perhaps regarding the revolver, govinda offered a more philosophical explanation, tying it to the nature of fame. “Fame is a flame, and you have to be aware of the flame that surrounds you, all over the world. It’s like fire when you’re successful, and you must tread carefully. When you have many people who love you, there are also some who are jealous it’s part of spardha (competition). But I would like to clarify that this incident shouldn’t be linked to anyone or anything else. There should be no galatfehmi (misconceptions) surrounding it.”
Moreover Dr Ramesh Agarwal, who treated the actor, confirmed the extent of the injury, stating govinda received around 8 to 10 stitches. Meanwhile, local authorities have been conducting a formal investigation into the accident, with the mumbai crime branch launching a parallel inquiry. According to police as of now, no formal complaint has been filed regarding the incident.
