For those unfamiliar, the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 marked Govinda's return to politics. The actor just joined the Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, 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 to the party, stating, "Govinda stands for progress." He is pleased by Modi's development policies. He aspires to contribute to the film industry's welfare and prosperity. I am confident he will be the liaison between the government and the film business."

Govinda initially entered politics in 2004, when he ran for the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket. The actor won the poll, defeating the BJP's Ram Naik. However, in 2008, the actor opted to leave politics.

Govinda has several years of experience in the entertainment sector. He has appeared in various blockbusters, including 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.
