In an audio message from his hospital bed, the 60-year-old actor says that the blessings of his fans, parents and his guru saved him. "I was hit by a bullet, but it has been extracted. I thank the doctors here and your prayers," he said in the audio clip.
The actor, who was hospitalized after the accident, is out of danger and recuperating at his home, a Mumbai police official said.

The gun misfired and a bullet hit his leg, police said.
