Govinda discharged from hospital 4 days after revolver accident

Actor Govinda was discharged from a hospital here on Friday, four days after the actor was injured in the leg when his revolver accidentally went off.

The actor, who is a member of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, underwent a surgery on Tuesday and was recuperating at a private hospital.

Govinda, 60, was brought out of the hospital on a wheelchair by his family and seen wearing a cast on his left leg.

The actor, who was accompanied by wife Sunita Ahuja and daughter Tina, greeted the mediapersons as well as his fans with folded hands.

"I thank members of the press, the authorities and my fans who love me and whose wishes kept me safe, I thank them all," he said.

Earlier, Sunita Ahuja told reporters that Govinda has been advised rest for at least six weeks.

"He will be discharged today. I will bring him here but he will have difficulty to stand... He is fine and will start dancing again in a few days. Everyone has prayed for him and we have the blessings of Mata rani," she said.
