Last year, in October, Govinda suffered a bullet injury in his leg after he misfired his licensed revolver. The actor was rushed to hospital with a wound under his knee and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The bullet was extracted after an hour-long surgery.

The incident took place around 4:45am when Govinda's licensed revolver accidentally discharged while he was putting it back in the cupboard, according to Mumbai Police. He was preparing to leave for Kolkata at the time.

Govinda is one of Bollywood's most famous actors, who made his acting debut in the late 1980s and started his career in action and drama films.

Over the years, he has acted in several Hindi films, becoming a household name for his smooth dialogue delivery, excellent comic timing, and energetic dance moves.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he delivered multiple hit films, including Ilzaam, Marte Dam Tak, Khudgarz, Dariya Dil, Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni, Swarg and Hum, which solidified his place as one of Bollywood's top actors.
