Bollywood actor Govinda has been rushed to CritiCare Hospital in Mumbai’s Juhu area late Monday night after he suddenly collapsed at home.
According to media reports, the 61-year-old star lost consciousness after experiencing severe stress that led to health complications.
Family members immediately called a doctor for advice and gave him medication, but his condition did not improve. Around 1 am, Govinda was shifted to the hospital, where doctors conducted several tests and are now waiting for the reports.
His close friend and legal advisor Bandal confirmed the news, saying, “He had some health issues and was feeling unwell. The doctor advised rest, but when things didn’t settle down, we had to take him to the hospital. He’s now under observation.”
Fans of the veteran actor, famous for his unmatched comic timing and dance moves, have filled social media with get-well messages, hoping for a quick recovery.
This isn’t Govinda’s first health scare. In October last year, he accidentally shot himself in the leg when his licensed pistol misfired. He was hospitalized, while doctors successfully removed the bullet after a one-hour surgery.
Interestingly, Govinda’s hospitalization comes just a day after widespread rumours about Bollywood legend Dharmendra’s death flooded social media.
The 89-year-old actor was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital on November 10 after facing breathing issues, and several news outlets wrongly reported that he had passed away.
His daughter, Esha Deol, later slammed the false reports, confirming that her father is “stable and recovering.”
She urged fans and the media to avoid spreading misinformation, saying, “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy.”
As the industry reels from back-to-back health scares involving two of its most beloved stars, fans across India are praying for their speedy recovery.
