Govinda's wife Sunita also shared an update on Govinda’s recovery, stating, “Doctors have said that Govinda will need bed-rest for the next six weeks and keep a check on his diet as he cannot exercise right now. We will not be allowing too many visitors as he can get an infection. He needs to rest now.” She humorously added, “He has danced for so many years, now he needs to rest. Khaa pee ke nachwayenge unhe (We’ll make him dance once he fully recovers). But he is otherwise doing well. ” She also revealed that the incident had left her and the family worried. She said, “Darr toh lag gaya tha (We were scared),” but I was sure he’ll be ok as I trust in my Mata Rani (goddess). He is Hero number one, he has come out of this incident successfully. We can’t wait to take him home,” she added with a smile.
