Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja also wondered if he deliberately shot himself, says, ‘Main goli maarti toh seene par maarti’

Addressing the family’s reaction to 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 my 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 really happy)’. Khush toh tab hoti jab seene mai lagta (Would have been happy if he was shot in the chest),” Sunita said with a laugh.

It was their daughter Tina Ahuja who took Govinda to a hospital in Mumbai. She 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.”

When asked if he was doing fine now, Sunita made a reference to his recent appearance on an episode of Kapil’s show, and said, “Ab toh naach raha hai Netflix par, mujhe laga langda raha hoga, langda theek hogaya (He is dancing on Netflix now. I thought he’d be limping around).”
