Actor turned politician Govinda released an audio clip thanking his fans for their blessings, hours after he landed in Mumbai hospital due to a bullet injury on his leg. The actor suffered the injury below his knee which his licensed gun misfired.  

In the audio clip, the 60-year-old actor is heard saying that the blessings of his fans, parents and his guru saved him. He added that he was hit by a bullet, but it has been extracted. He also extended gratitude to the doctors.

Reports said that the actor suffered the injury around 4.45 am today when he was getting ready to leave for the airport to board a flight to Kolkata. The actor, also a Shiv Sena leader, was alone at the time of the incident.

Shashi Sinha, his manager said Govinda was keeping his licensed revolver in a cupboard when it fell to the floor and went off. The bullet hit the actor below his knee. After the incident, the actor called up his wife Sunita Ahuja, who was in Kolkata, and his manager. Soon after, the police reached his Juhu home and rushed him to the nearby Criticare Hospital. 

Later, the actor’s manager said his condition is stable. The actor is still at the hospital and his daughter Tina is with him. The police said that the actor has not registered any complaint.  

Shashi Sinha said that they had a 6 am flight for a show in Kolkata and he had reached the airport. He added that the actor was about to leave his residence for the airport when this accident happened. He further expressed that it is due to God’s grace that Govinda sustained only a leg injury and it was nothing serious. Reportedly, Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja left for Mumbai after she heard of the incident.

A prominent YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia, reacted after his YouTube channel, BeerBiceps, got hacked on  Wednesday night. He has become the latest victim of the cyber attack.

Hackers took control of his YouTube channels, renaming them with references to “Tesla” and “Trump” before erasing most of his content. This incident resembles the recent hacking of India’s Supreme Court YouTube channel.

The attackers modified the name of BeerBiceps to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” After the takeover, they removed all of his podcasts and interviews, replacing them with older event streams featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

YouTube has since taken down the hacked channels, displaying the message, “This page isn’t available.”

Allahbadia, initially in Singapore but later confirmed to be in Mumbai, has not released an official statement regarding the hacking. However, he indirectly addressed the issue on Instagram. He posted a picture of a meal, writing, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favorite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.”

In a subsequent post, he shared a selfie with an eye mask, captioned, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”

Ranveer Allahbadia began his content creation journey at 22 with the launch of BeerBiceps. Over the years, he expanded his digital presence, managing seven YouTube channels with around 12 million subscribers collectively. His content has built a loyal audience through motivational talks, lifestyle advice, fitness tips, and interviews with high-profile personalities.

Throughout his career, Allahbadia has interviewed notable figures across various industries, including sports icons, Bollywood stars, influential personalities, and international figures.

While there has been no official word from Allahbadia regarding the recovery of his channels, the incident shines a light on the growing concerns about cybersecurity risks faced by content creators and public figures on digital platforms.

Bollywood actor Malaika Arora’s father Anil Arora died by jumping off from the sixth floor of a residential building in Bandra, the Mumbai Police said on Wednesday, adding that no suicide note has been recovered so far from the scene.

According to police, the body has been sent for post-mortem and the case is being investigated.

Raj Tilak Roshan of DCP Zone 9 said, “The body of one Anil Arora was found. He resided on the 6th floor. We are carrying out further investigation and our team is here. We are investigating all angles in detail. Our teams are here, forensic teams are here as well. The body is being taken for postmortem. We are investigating everything in detail. Prima facie it seems to be suicide, we are conducting further investigation.”

Malaika Arora was not at home when her father committed suicide. The actor-model was reportedly in Pune and rushed back to Mumbai soon after learning about the incident. After receiving this shocking news, the actor’s ex-husband Arbaaz Khan also reached the residence of Malaika’s parents.

Malaika’s parents, Anil and Joyce Polycarp, had separated when she was 11 years old. Anil Arora, despite his daughter’s high profile, maintained a low public profile himself.

Malaika Arora, a prominent actress and television personality, has yet to issue a public statement on this tragic event. The family is reportedly in deep shock and mourning as they await further details from the investigation.
