Bollywood star Govinda had a narrow escape Saturday when a bus hit him in this Sikh holy city, the actor said.

Govinda was jogging with his son on the road near M.K. International Hotel in Ranjit Avenue when a mini-bus hit him after its driver failed to spot him due to the fog.

The driver was able to apply the brakes just in time as the vehicle was about to run over Govinda. He was hit by the bus but was not majorly injured.

Govinda visited the city with his family to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple and is staying at the M.K. International Hotel.

"We had paid obeisance at the Golden Temple yesterday (Friday). Maybe God saved us because of that, " Govinda told reporters here.
