Last year, Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg while he was cleaning his gun. The actor was rushed to the hospital and kept there for several days. Later, Shilpa Shetty had jokingly asked the actor if Sunita had shot him. Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, opened up about the injury.
Sunita joked to Hindi Rush, “Govinda ne aadhi baat boli thi. Maine Shilpa ko bola tha ki agar mai goli maarti toh pair par na maarti, seene par maarti Govinda told a half-baked story. I told Shilpa that if I had pulled the trigger, I would’ve shot him in the chest, not on his foot). Kaam karo toh poora karo, nahi toh mat karo (If you are doing something, do it well. Otherwise, don’t do it).”
Recalling the incident, she said, “I wasn’t in Mumbai, and Yash (son) was in Bangkok. I didn’t tell him, but I also went to Khatu Shyam to offer prayers. The day he was shot, I was meditating in the morning. He was going to go to Kolkata for Durga Puja in the morning. My driver called suddenly; I generally don’t answer calls during meditation. However, he called twice; I think Govinda must have asked him to call me.”
“My first question was, ‘Isko maara kisne hai (Who shot him)?’ He said, ‘No, it was an accident’. I asked him not to panic and immediately rushed there. Even when I reached, I asked him, ‘Tune khud hi maara hai kya? Laga bhi toh yahan par, jahan par lagna chahiye tha vahan nahi laga (Did you shoot yourself deliberately? It didn’t hit you where it should have)?’ He said, ‘Khush toh bahut hogi tum (You must be pleased)’. Khush toh tab hoti jab seene mai lagta (Would have been happy if he was shot in the chest),” Sunita said.
“When he was shot, my servant, driver, and his bodyguard were present at the house. Tina was sleeping in the flat and he was at the bungalow. I called her and she rushed him to the hospital. I was continuously on call, taking regular updates,” Sunita mentioned.
