The doctor has removed the bullet and his condition is fine. He is in the hospital right now,” his manager, Shashi Sinha told ANI.

Main dhanyavad deta hoon yahan ke doctor ka, aadarniya doctor Agarwal ji ka aur aap sab logon ki prarthana jo hai, aap logon ka dhanyavad, pranaam (I am Govinda. Thanks to your blessings, my parents’ blessings, and the grace of my guru, I was shot, but the bullet has been taken out. I thank the doctors here, especially Dr. Agarwal, and I appreciate all your prayers),” he said.

The actor is likely to be discharged later this week. Several Bollywood stars, including David Dhawan and Shatrughan Sinha, visited the actor in the hospital.
