Govinda recalls incident of mob surrounding his | Indian Movie News
Actor Govinda has spoken about an incident in which a group of around 22–23 people allegedly surrounded his Mumbai residence. Recalling the episode, he said he had to intervene himself after repeated makes an attempt to contact the police didn’t yield a response.
According to the actor, the incident occurred when he observed a group approaching his home late at evening. “There were 22–23 people. I saw them coming in luckily. I first thought they’re here for a party, but they didn’t seem like party people. So I captured their video,” Govinda said.
He added that he initially tried to attain the Mumbai Police but was unable to get through. “When Mumbai Police didn’t pick up my call, I called the police of another country and asked them to be on the line,” he said.
Govinda said the state of affairs escalated when one of the people climbed onto the terrace, making him suspect that one thing was flawed. “They’d started surrounding me. In the meantime, I called up and informed everybody. I have a licensed gun, so I took it out,” he told ANI.
He then confronted the group and requested them to determine themselves. “Who are you?” he recalled asking. After a temporary silence, one of the people responded, saying, “We’re here to fix the power system.” Govinda said the reason didn’t add up, as the group continued to stay outdoors without leaving.
“So I pointed the gun and asked them to leave. They were not expecting that,” he said, including that he didn’t pursue the matter additional or attempt to determine the people concerned.
Reflecting on the incident, Govinda said he selected not to dwell on it. “That’s a waste of time. People divert your energy into thinking about all that,” he said. “A good actor can’t work like that. They can either act or react. An actor’s job is to act. If an actor starts reacting to everything anyone and everyone in society is saying, that doesn’t feel nice. Yes, if you stay silent for too long, that silence can be misconstrued with suspicion. Even that’s not good.”
Last week, Govinda’s supervisor, Shashi Sinha, said that the actor has been receiving death threats. Recalling the same 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 also have a video of what happened that night.”
The incident comes amid renewed consideration on Govinda’s firearm possession. In October 2024, the actor was hospitalised after by chance taking pictures himself in the foot while cleansing his licensed gun at his Mumbai residence, police had said at the time.
