Sharing a picture of their meeting on his Instagram handle, the actor had written, “It was an honor meeting our honorable Minister of Home Affairs of India, respected Amit Shah ji, personally. @amitshahofficial.”
For the unversed, Lok Sabha Elections 2024 also marked Govinda’s comeback into politics. The actor recently joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. “I am back (in politics) after a 14-year-long ‘vanvas’ (exile),” he said as quoted by Business Standard. “Mumbai looks more beautiful and developed since Shinde has become CM,” the actor added.
Shinde also welcomed Govinda into the party and said, “Govinda stands for progress. He is impressed with Modi’s development policies. He wants to do something for the welfare and progress of the film industry. I am sure he will be the link between the government and the film industry.”
Govinda first joined politics in 2004 when he contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress ticket. The actor won the elections and defeated BJP’s Ram Naik. However, in 2008, the actor decided to quit politics.
Govinda is a veteran in the entertainment industry. He has worked in several superhit films like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998), Raja Babu (1994), Coolie No. 1 (1995), Hero No. 1 (1997), Akhiyon Se Goli Maare (200), Swarg (1990) and Dulhe Raja (1998) among others.
