Actor and politician Govinda recently attended a political rally in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, but had to leave midway due to feeling unwell. Reports indicate that he experienced discomfort during the rally and returned to Mumbai for further care. As of now, Govinda has not personally addressed the incident.

According to Pinkvilla, the actor was campaigning for Mahayuti candidates in regions like Muktainagar, Bodwad, Pachora, and Chopda. During the roadshow, he urged the public to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi and cast their votes for the ruling alliance. This marked Govinda's return to politics, following his association with CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.

In a separate incident earlier in October, Govinda was hospitalized after an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound. The mishap occurred around 4:45 AM on October 1, while he was handling his licensed revolver at home. The firearm reportedly misfired when it slipped from his hand while he was placing it in an almirah. The actor sustained a leg injury and was rushed to CritiCare Hospital in Mumbai, where he underwent treatment for several days before being discharged.

Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, provided details about the incident, explaining that the actor was preparing for a trip to Kolkata when the accident happened. The bullet, which struck his leg, was promptly removed by doctors, and his condition was reported to be stable.
