Govinda’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja met with an accident in Juhu on Wednesday. The incident took place around 8.30 pm, when a car that was on its way to pick up late filmmaker B R Chopra’s grandson Rishabh Chopra, rammed into Yash’s car from the side. The Chopra family car was driven by their driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle during the accident. Yash, who was on his way to meet a friend, was also alone in his car. While he suffered injuries on his left hand, the driver is said to be safe.

Govinda told us, “I rushed to the spot as soon as Yash called us. We informed the cops immediately and they reached in no time. Some people, who saw it happen, told me that the other driver had jumped the signal, leading to the accident. Aaj kal aisa zamana aa gaya hai ke even if you are right, you need proof to prove yourself. So, I have the witnesses talking about it on camera. The airbags turned out to be the saviours! When we reached Juhu police station, Rishabh Chopra and Akshay, who I suppose is a production manager with Yash Raj Films (YRF), were there. They apologized for what had happened. Mujhe koi shadyantra (conspiracy) nahi laga isme, aur unhone mere aate hi maafi maang li, toh maine unko maaf kar diya. They also said that they will take care of the damages caused.”

The actor added, “It was a Chopra (Yash Raj) family car. I was taken aback that they haven’t called me so far. Maybe they will call later.”

Meanwhile, Yash, who is nursing his injuries, assured us that he is doing fine. He said, “Rishabh has been calling to check on me. With the roads being relatively empty, people tend to speed off and that is what happened with the other driver. Had I not applied the brakes, it could have been worse. We need to be careful.”
