During a press briefing shortly after leaving the hospital, Govinda described the events of the accidental shooting on October 1. Govinda said that at first, he couldn’t believe that it had happened. Jab vo lag gaya tab mujhe thoda sa andar se lag raha tha, par main us par vishwas nahi kar paya. Yeh kya ho gaya, aisa laga. It’s a severe injury, and I couldn’t comprehend that it occurred. I pondered, ‘What had just happened?’).”
Govinda revealed that he was by himself when the incident occurred, happening in the early morning around 4:45-5:00 am as he prepared to journey to Kolkata. I was getting ready to depart for the event… to Kolkata. The time was approximately 4:45-5:00 in the morning. Revolver gir gaya aur bhag gaya (the revolver fell and went off accidentally). I experienced a sudden shock and noticed a blood fountain.
Govinda clarified that he decided to manage the situation by himself, without seeking help from others. I believed it best not to involve others in this event and cause them inconvenience, so I recorded videos and was immediately taken to Dr. Agarwal. “He joined us and brought me to Criti Care hospital,” he stated.
Govinda explained that having a loaded revolver makes him feel like rushing through morning preparations is justified. I tend to be a little carefree, so I didn’t see anything amiss. I’m laid-back, I didn’t anticipate something like this happening. However, caution should be exercised. I trust that others will not have to go through this; they can take a lesson from my experience.
Govinda provided a deeper philosophical interpretation of the revolver, connecting it to the concept of fame. “Fame is like a fire, and you must be mindful of the fire that encircles you, worldwide.” Succeeding feels like walking on hot coals, so proceed cautiously. Having a lot of people who care for you also means dealing with a few who are envious, as it is all part of competition. However, I want to make it clear that this incident should not be associated with anyone or anything else. There should be no misunderstanding about it.
In the end, Govinda showed his appreciation for the help he got. I want to express my gratitude to all those who sent prayers my way. I appreciate it.” Dr. Ramesh Agarwal, the doctor who attended to the actor, verified the severity of the injury, mentioning that Govinda required approximately 8 to 10 stitches.
At the same time, the Mumbai crime branch has started a separate investigation into the accident, while local authorities are also conducting a formal inquiry. Currently, police have not received any official complaint about the incident.
