Govinda recalls incident of mob surrounding his home, says Police didn’t reply to calls
In accordance with the actor, the incident occurred when he noticed a bunch approaching his house late at night. “There have been 22–23 people. I saw them coming in luckily. I first thought they’re here for a celebration, but they didn’t seem to be party people. So I captured their video,” Govinda said.
He added that he initially tried to achieve the Mumbai Police but was unable to get through. “When Mumbai Police didn’t pick up my call, I called the police of one other country and asked them to be on the road,” he said.
Govinda said the situation escalated when certainly one of the individuals climbed onto the terrace, making him suspect that something was unsuitable. “They’d began surrounding me. Within the meantime, I called up and informed everybody. I actually have a licensed gun, so I took it out,” he told ANI.
He then confronted the group and asked them to discover themselves. “Who’re you?” he recalled asking. After a transient silence, certainly one of the individuals responded, saying, “We’re here to repair the ability system.” Govinda said the reason didn’t add up, because the group continued to stay outside without leaving.
“So I pointed the gun and asked them to depart. They weren’t expecting that,” he said, adding that he didn’t pursue the matter further or try and discover the individuals involved.
Reflecting on the incident, Govinda said he selected to not dwell on it. “That’s a waste of time. People divert your energy into fascinated by all that,” he said. “A very good actor can’t work like that. They will either act or react. An actor’s job is to act. If an actor starts reacting to the whole lot anyone and everybody in society is saying, that doesn’t feel nice. Yes, in the event you stay silent for too long, that silence might be misconstrued with suspicion. Even that’s not good.”
Last week, Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, stated that the actor has been receiving death threats. Recalling the identical incident, Sinha said, “Thank god he had a gun with him the day he got attacked. He chased everyone away. Otherwise god knows what would’ve happened to him. I rushed to him at 4 am. We also filed an FIR. We even have a video of what happened that night.”
The incident comes amid renewed attention on Govinda’s firearm ownership. In October 2024, the actor was hospitalised after unintentionally shooting himself within the foot while cleansing his licensed gun at his Mumbai residence, police had said on the time.
