Earlier this week, fans were left concerned when veteran actor Govinda, fondly known as Hero No. 1, was admitted to CritiCare Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai. The incident occurred late at night when the actor fainted at home following what doctors later described as “severe fatigue.”
The news came just days after Govinda was spotted visiting an ailing Dharmendra at Breach Candy Hospital. The actor had appeared fit and upbeat during that visit, which made his sudden health scare even more alarming for fans and colleagues across the industry.
What led to Govinda’s hospitalisation?
According to reports, Govinda fainted around 1 am after a period of intense physical activity and was admitted to the hospital following a telephonic consultation. His legal advisor and close friend Lalit Bindal, who accompanied him to the hospital, revealed that the actor’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, was out of town attending a wedding at the time. Upon hearing the news, she immediately rushed back to Mumbai to be by his side.
Meanwhile, Govinda’s daughter Tina Ahuja, who was also away from the city, is expected to join her parents soon. Before the actor’s discharge, his manager, Shashi Sinha, had informed the media that Govinda was under medical observation after suffering a “severe headache and dizziness.” Doctors had advised him to undergo a neurological check-up to rule out any underlying issues.
Govinda Breaks His Silence
As he stepped out of the hospital, Govinda looked cheerful and reassured his fans that he was doing well. Speaking to the paparazzi, he said, “Achha hun. Zyaada hardwork kar liya aur fatigue ho gaya. Yog pranayama achha hai. Heavy exercise karte hain, thoda tough hai. Main try kar raha hun personality zyaada achhi ho jaye parantu mujhe lagta hai yog pranayama kare wahi achha hai.”
The actor explained that he had pushed himself too hard in his fitness routine, which led to exhaustion. He emphasized that yoga and pranayama remain the best forms of exercise for overall well-being. His calm demeanour and warm smile as he interacted with the media brought much relief to his worried fans.
How Is He Now?
Thankfully, after thorough medical tests and a short hospital stay, the actor was declared stable and discharged. Sources confirmed that Govinda has been advised rest and moderate exercise for the next few weeks.
Fans across social media have flooded comment sections with messages of love and prayers, celebrating the recovery of their favourite entertainer.
A Week of Concern and Relief for Bollywood
Coincidentally, Dharmendra, whom Govinda had visited just days earlier, was also discharged from the hospital around the same time. For fans, it was a week of anxiety followed by relief, as two of Hindi cinema’s most loved veterans were declared out of danger.
