Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja reveals why he skipped Diwali celebration, shares health update after shooting incident: ‘Unko rest karne…’
Recently, Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja revealed why the actor skipped Diwali celebration this year and gave an update about his health after the shooting incident.

In October, actor-politician Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg while handling his licensed revolver. He was rushed to Mumbai’s Criticare Hospital and underwent surgery. A month after being discharged from the hospital, his wife Sunita Ahuja has shared an update on his health condition. She also revealed that Govinda had to skip the Diwali celebration this year as he is taking rest these days.
In a video clip posted on a pap’s social media handle, Sunita was asked to share if Govinda is recovering well after his gun shot injury. “Sir ekdam thik hai. Unko rest karne bola hai isliye iss saal Diwali wo nahi mana rahe. (Sir is doing well. He has been advised to take a rest which is why he isn’t celebrating Diwali this year),” she replied. Sunita added, “Toh sirf main bacchon ke saath Diwali mana rahi hun (I am celebrating Diwali with my kids).”
Meanwhile, Govinda and Sunita’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja also shared an update about the actor’s health. During a Diwali party, he talked to the paparazzi and told that his father’s stitches were removed and that he is recovering well. He also quipped that the actor would start dancing in a few weeks.
During a press conference after getting discharged, Govinda revealed that he was alone when the gun misfired in the morning while prepping to go to Kolkata. “Woh giri aur chal padi (the revolver fell and misfired). I felt a jhatka (I was shocked) and then saw… there was a fountain (of blood). I thought I should not associate this incident with anyone else and trouble them, so I shot some videos and was then rushed to Dr. Agarwal. He came with us and took me to CritiCare hospital,” he had said.
Govinda was discharged from the hospital on October 4, 2024. He had thanked all his fans and the paparazzi for their immense support and care.
