Mumbai, India – Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda was hospitalized early Wednesday morning after fainting at his residence in Mumbai. The 61-year-old actor was admitted to CritiCare Hospital in Juhu around midnight after experiencing disorientation and losing consciousness.
According to Lalit Bindal, Govinda's legal advisor and friend, the actor is currently under observation, and doctors are monitoring his vitals while awaiting the results of several medical tests. Bindal confirmed that Govinda received initial medical attention following a telephonic consultation with a doctor but was later rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment around 1 a.m.
"My dear and respected @govinda_herono1 has been admitted in hospital with complaints of disorientation and unconscious (sic). I pray for his speedy recovery," Bindal shared in an Instagram post, conveying concern for the actor’s well-being.
News of Govinda's hospitalization has sparked concern among fans and the Bollywood fraternity. This incident occurred just a day after Govinda visited veteran actor Dharmendra, who is also recovering at Breach Candy Hospital. A video circulating online showed Govinda leaving the hospital with a somber expression.
Govinda's sudden health issue follows a past incident where he sustained a bullet injury from an accidental firing of his licensed revolver last year. The bullet was successfully removed after surgery. Reports indicated the incident occurred as Govinda was preparing for a trip to Kolkata and was putting his revolver away when it discharged accidentally.
The actor, known for his energetic performances and comedic timing in numerous Bollywood hits, has had a long and illustrious career. Fans await further updates on his condition and are hoping for a swift recovery.
Hospital sources have yet to release an official statement regarding Govinda's condition, but Bindal assured that the actor is stable and all necessary tests have been conducted. The medical team is expected to provide a comprehensive update once all test results are evaluated.
