Actor and Shiv Sena leader Govinda sustained a bullet injury to his leg on Tuesday when his licensed revolver misfired, according to police reports. The incident occurred around 4:45 AM as the actor was preparing to leave his Juhu residence. A police official noted that Govinda has not filed any complaint regarding the incident.

The 60-year-old actor was taken to Criticare Hospital for treatment but has since returned home. His manager shared that they had a 6 AM flight scheduled for a show in Kolkata and that Govinda was about to depart for the airport when the accident occurred.

“We had a 6 am flight to catch for a show in Kolkata and I had reached the airport. Govinda ji was about to leave his residence for the airport when this accident happened,” the actor’s manager said.

“The revolver apparently fell down while being kept in the cupboard and misfire. It is due to god’s grace that Govinda ji sustained only leg injury and it was nothing serious,” he said.
