Sharing a health update with reporters, Govinda’s daughter Tina Ahuja said: “He is doing better. He will be released today.”

The actor’s wife Sunita Ahuja also told reporters that Govinda has been advised to rest for at least six weeks.

“He will be released today. I’ll bring him here, but he’ll have trouble standing… He’s fine and will start dancing again in a few days. Everyone has been praying for him and we have the blessings of Mata Rani,” she said.

“At home the doctor told him to stay in bed for six weeks. That’s why we won’t allow many people in because he could get infected. So he needs to rest,” she added.

Govinda, known for films like “Love 86”, “Swarg”, “Dulhe Raja” and “Partner”, was injured in the leg on Tuesday after his revolver accidentally exploded at his Mumbai residence as he was about to leave for the airport.

While the local police were investigating, the Mumbai Crime Branch has also launched a parallel probe into the incident.

No complaint has been filed in this matter so far, the police said.

Dr. Ramesh Agarwal, who took care of the actor after the accident, said the bullet hit him below his left knee and he received 8-10 stitches.

Govinda, a favorite of audiences for his impeccable comedic timing and dancing skills, later issued a statement telling his fans that he was 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,” the “Hero No 1” actor and member of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena said in the audio message.
