Actor and politician Govinda has been in the hospital since October 1, after accidentally shooting himself in the leg while cleaning his revolver. Although the injury was minor, the news sent shockwaves through the industry, and many of his old colleagues, including some with whom he had unresolved differences, rushed to check on his health. Govinda is reportedly doing well now, but this incident has led to a reunion of sorts, as several people set aside their past grievances to visit him at the hospital.
David Dhawan Pays a Visit, Ending 10-Year Rift
In the late ’80s and ’90s, Govinda and director David Dhawan formed a blockbuster duo, creating a string of hit films that dominated the box office. However, their friendship soured over the years, and Govinda had even publicly commented on their strained relationship. Despite this, David Dhawan, along with his wife, put their differences aside and visited Govinda in the hospital to inquire about his recovery. This gesture marked the end of a decade-long cold war between the two industry veterans.
Kashmira Shah and the Family Feud
The long-standing family feud between Govinda’s family and his nephew Krishna Abhishek’s wife Kashmira Shah has been widely publicized. Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja has been vocal about her issues with the couple. But when Kashmira heard about Govinda’s accident, she immediately rushed to the hospital to check on him. Krishna, who is currently abroad for work, received regular updates from Kashmira, who has been actively ensuring Govinda’s well-being, putting aside the bitterness between the families.
Aarti Singh Shows Her Support
Govinda’s niece, Aarti Singh, had her share of differences with the actor in the past, but those issues were resolved at her wedding. When she heard about Govinda’s accident, Aarti and her husband quickly made their way to the hospital to support her uncle. The two have been on good terms since the reconciliation at her wedding, and this incident only strengthened their bond further.
Shatrughan Sinha Visits an Old Friend
Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, a close friend of Govinda from their time in Bollywood, also made his way to the hospital upon hearing the news. The two have worked together in films and shared a strong friendship over the years. Sinha visited Govinda and updated fans on his health, expressing relief that the injury wasn’t severe.
Industry Comes Together for Govinda
Apart from these notable names, several other celebrities like Raveena Tandon reached out to Govinda, either by visiting him in the hospital or checking in via phone. Govinda’s accident, while unfortunate, has brought together several old friends and colleagues, proving once again that in times of crisis, differences can be set aside for the sake of friendship and care.
