Bollywood actor Govinda, beloved for his unmatched comic timing and infectious screen presence, gave his fans a major fright when he suddenly collapsed at his Mumbai residence on Tuesday evening. The 60-year-old star was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital, where doctors confirmed that he is now stable but remains under close observation.
According to a family friend and his lawyer, Govinda had been feeling fatigued for several days due to back-to-back commitments and irregular rest. “He fainted unexpectedly, but he’s now conscious and recovering well,” the friend said, requesting fans not to panic.
The actor, who ruled the ’90s with blockbuster hits like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, and Saajan Chale Sasural, had recently been spotted attending a few private events in Mumbai. Sources close to him revealed that he was shooting promotional content for an upcoming project, despite being advised rest.
Doctors at the facility have confirmed that Govinda’s vitals are stable, but he will undergo a detailed medical evaluation to rule out any cardiac or neurological complications. “He’s talking, alert, and in good spirits,” said a senior physician.
Fans flooded social media platforms with heartfelt messages wishing the star a speedy recovery. Celebrities including Shakti Kapoor and Raveena Tandon also extended their support, calling him “a powerhouse performer and a beautiful soul.”
Govinda’s family has thanked fans for their concern and requested privacy during his recovery. “He’s fine now, but he needs complete rest for a few days,” the statement read.
For millions of fans who grew up dancing to his songs and laughing at his effortless humor, the health scare serves as a sobering reminder that even icons are not immune to exhaustion. As he recovers, the industry eagerly awaits the return of its ever-smiling “Chi Chi” to the big screen hopefully with the same energy and charisma that defined an era of Bollywood.
