Bollywood actor Govinda, a popular entertainer from the 1990s recognized for his amazing comedic skills and iconic dance moves, officially became a member of the ruling Shiv Sena party in Mumbai on Thursday, marking his return to politics following a 14-year break.
Govinda will most probably be nominated as a candidate from Mumbai North West. In the year 2004, Govinda ran for the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat under the Congress party’s banner and gained recognition as a formidable opponent by defeating Ram Naik from the BJP. However, he subsequently resigned from the party and decided to take a hiatus from the world of politics.
In a momentous event witnessed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at his Varsha residence, Govinda showcased his dedication to bolstering Mumbai’s advancement, specifically in the domain of art and culture. He emphasized on his enthusiasm to enrich the cultural landscape of Mumbai.
Govinda looked back on his political career, emphasizing his time as a Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2009 and thanking Mumbai for supporting his achievements in the film industry. He commended Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde’s efforts for development and expressed his aspiration to enhance Mumbai’s film industry’s global presence.
