Sunita Ahuja recalls Govinda's shooting incident. (Photo: Sunita Ahuja/Instagram)Actor Govinda was in the news after he accidentally shot himself in the leg with a licensed gun at his residence in Mumbai. In a new interview, his wife Sunita Ahuja has recalled her reaction to the incident as she was not at their residence at the time. She said that after the incident, Govinda’s driver called her up to share the news.
Speaking with Hindustan Times, Sunita recalled the incident and said that she never panics. She shared, “My driver calls me saying, ‘Sahab ko goli lag gayi’ (Sir has been shot). I said ‘lagi ya kisine maar di?’ (Did he shoot himself or someone shot at him?) That’s when he said, ‘revolver rakh rahe the, gir gaya’ (the revolver fell when he was keeping it away). Then Govinda spoke to me saying ‘goli lag gaya’. I told him, ‘Tumne kahi khud toh nahi maar diya’ (Did you shoot yourself)? He said, ‘Abhi bhi mazak soojha raha hai’ (You are still joking)? That’s when I told him not to panic and calm down. I feared he might get a heart attack. I called Tina, who was at home, and told her not to panic and take him to the hospital. I never panic in any situation.”
Sunita often becomes a target for the trolls for her carefree statements against her family, husband and even the industry. Reacting to the same, Sunita said that these trolls don’t impact her. She said, “Trolls and negative comments don’t affect me. I will not change myself or my nature due to people’s reaction. I am who I am, you can speak to me if you like me if not, you can get out. My nature is not to sulk or be sad. Trolls keep me in the news.”
Previously, speaking with Hindi Rush, Sunita had joked about the shooting 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.”
She added, “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),” she had said.
Talking about the shooting incident, Govinda told media post his discharge, “Initially, I couldn’t believe it had happened. Thoda gehra lag gaya tha, jab laga tab vishwas nahi hua. Aisa laga ke yeh kya hua? (It is a deep wound, and I couldn’t believe it had happened. I thought, ‘What just occurred?’) I was getting ready to leave for the show… for Kolkata. It was in the morning, around 4.45-5 am. Woh giri aur chal padi (the revolver fell and misfired). I felt a jhatka (I was shocked) and when I saw… there was a fountain (of blood).”
