Govinda, who is currently recovering in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the foot with his revolver, is likely to be discharged tomorrow evening. His manager Shashi Sinha confirmed to ETimes saying, “He is likely to be discharged tomorrow,” adding, “He is first class and doing very well.”
However, Sinha stressed that Govinda needs to be cautious, as doctors have advised him not to put pressure on the injured leg for at least six weeks.”He has to be careful and doctor has asked not to put pressure on the injured leg for at least six weeks. There is nothing to worry. With physiotherapy, the dancing star will be back in action,” he informed.
The injury happened when Govinda accidentally shot himself while cleaning his closet early Tuesday morning. He reportedly misfired his gun, injuring his foot. Reports indicate that a part of the gun’s lock was broken, leading to the accidental firing. At the time of the incident, there were six bullets in the gun, and one went off and hit his foot, which required him to be rushed to a hospital in Juhu.
Accident Or Foul Play: Why Is Police Not Convinced With Govinda’s Version?
Meanwhile, the Crime Branch has started an investigation into the incident. Officials visited Govinda in the hospital on Wednesday and seemed skeptical about his explanation of what happened. A team from the Crime Branch, led by senior police inspector Daya Nayak, spoke to the actor about the details. Govinda claims the gun fell and accidentally went off, hitting him in the leg. He was alone at home when the incident took place.
Several celebrities including Raveena Tandon, David Dhawan, Rajpal Yadav and Shatrughan Sinha have visited the 60-year-old actor to offer their support.
As of now, no one has filed a complaint about the incident, and the police may ask Govinda to provide his statement again for more clarity.
