The doctor has removed the bullet and his condition is fine. He is in the hospital right now,” his manager, Shashi Sinha told ANI.
Soon after, Govinda also released a voice note to the press to assure them and fans that he is okay. “Namaskar, pranaam, main hoon Govinda, aap sab logon ke aashirwad aur maa-baap ka aashirwad, guru ki kripa ke wajah se goli lagi thi par woh nikaal di gayi hai. Main dhanyavad deta hoon yahan ke doctor ka, aadarniya doctor Agarwal ji ka aur aap sab logon ki prarthana jo hai, aap logon ka dhanyavad, pranaam (I am Govinda. Thanks to your blessings, my parents’ blessings, and the grace of my guru, I was shot, but the bullet has been taken out. I thank the doctors here, especially Dr. Agarwal, and I appreciate all your prayers),” he said.
The actor is likely to be discharged later this week. Several Bollywood stars, including David Dhawan and Shatrughan Sinha, visited the actor in the hospital.
