During a visit to Mumbai’s Criti Care Hospital to check on actor Govinda, Shilpa Shetty encountered a chaotic scene with paparazzi, which led to her losing her cool. Govinda had been hospitalized after accidentally injuring himself with a gun, and celebrities, including Shilpa, were arriving to offer their support as he recovered. However, upon her arrival, the crowd of paparazzi waiting outside the hospital blocked her way, making it difficult for her to enter.
In a video that has since gone viral, Shilpa is seen visibly frustrated, questioning the photographers’ behavior. She exclaimed, “Ye bhi koi jagah hai kya?” ("Is this really the place to do this?"), expressing her annoyance that such a sensitive moment was being exploited for photographs. The photographers had not only blocked her path but were also aggressively trying to capture close-up shots of her, which contributed to her irritation
This incident is not an isolated one, as Bollywood celebrities frequently deal with paparazzi intrusion, especially in personal or inappropriate settings. While stars are often photographed at events, the hospital scenario made Shilpa's reaction particularly notable. Fans and media outlets reacted to the clip, with many supporting her stance and highlighting the fine line that photographers cross in pursuit of sensational images. Others, however, noted that celebrities, by virtue of their fame, face constant media attention, no matter the setting.
Govinda, who had accidentally shot himself, is recovering well according to reports. His wife, Sunita Ahuja, shared updates about his health, mentioning that he is expected to be discharged soon. Meanwhile, several other actors, including Raveena Tandon and Shatrughan Sinha, also visited the hospital to see him
