MUMBAI, Mar 28: Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda on Thursday joined Shiv Sena in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Speculations were already rife about Govinda’s re-entry into politics after a recent meeting between the actor and Eknath Shinde.
Govinda, had a small stint as a politician when he contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat in 2004 under the Congress banner. He famously defeated the BJP veteran leader Ram Naik. His victory earned him the epithet of the ‘giant killer.’ This victory was particularly significant as North Mumbai, encompassing several key assembly segments, had long been considered a BJP stronghold. Govinda’s triumph over Ram Naik, a five-time MP, marked a pivotal moment in his political career, underscoring his popularity and influence in the region.
