Bollywood icon Govinda was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday following an incident where he fainted at his residence. The beloved actor was promptly transported to CritiCare Asia Multispeciality Hospital for urgent medical attention.

His lawyer, Lalit Bindal, mentioned that the veteran had been feeling unwell before his hospitalization. “He was disoriented. All necessary tests have been conducted, and we’re now waiting for reports and the neuro consultant’s advice. He is currently stable,” Bindal stated.

The 60-year-old’s recent health scare follows a visit to veteran actor Dharmendra, who is recuperating at Breach Candy Hospital. A video of Govinda leaving the hospital surfaced online, showcasing his worried demeanor.

Previous Hospital Incident Involved Gun Mishap

This isn't the first recent instance of Govinda needing hospital care. In October of the previous year, he sustained a bullet injury to his knee due to an accidental discharge of his licensed revolver at home.

The occurrence transpired around 4:45 am as Govinda was getting ready to depart for a show in Kolkata. The weapon went off as he attempted to reposition it in the cupboard.

Reflecting on that alarming episode, Govinda shared, “I was on my way to a Kolkata show at about 5 in the morning. At that moment, it fell and discharged. I was stunned and saw blood when I looked down. I called my doctor right away and got hospitalized.”

He was released after three days and greeted fans outside the hospital with a gesture of gratitude, accompanied by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, and daughter, Tina Ahuja.
