Earlier in the day, Krushna's wife and actress Kashmera Shah visited Govinda at Criti Care Hospital near his Juhu. Amid questions about him being missing amid the tragic incident, Krushna told Hindustan Times, "He is okay and fine now, Kashmera met him. I am in Australia right now. He will be discharged in a few days."
Govinda, a favourite with audiences for his impeccable comic timing and dancing skills, later issued a statement informing his fans he is doing better.
"With the blessings of my fans, my parents and god, I am doing better now. I was hit by a bullet, which has now been removed.
"I thank the doctor here, Dr Agarwal ji. I thank all of you for your prayers," the "Hero No 1" actor and a member of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena said in the audio message.
The accident happened around 4.45 am when he was about to leave home to catch a 6 am flight to Kolkata for a show, according to PTI. The trigger of the licensed revolver got pushed accidentally while the actor was keeping it in the cupboard. A bullet then hit his leg.
Govinda was last seen in 2019's âRangeela Raja'. In March, a month before the Lok Sabha elections, Govinda joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. This marked Govinda's re-entry into the political landscape after nearly two decades. The actor won the 2004 poll battle from the Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress ticket before stepping away from politics in 2008.
