Actor-turned-politician Govinda has once again stepped into the political arena. On Thursday, Govinda took to Instagram to share a photograph with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, capturing their meeting during the campaign in Mumbai. This meeting occurred during the road show of PM Modi for the Lok Sabha 2024 elections campaign.
The image, depicting Govinda warmly greeting PM Modi, was accompanied by a caption expressing his honour at the encounter, “It was an honour to meet Shri Narendra Modi ji, Honourable Prime Minister of India during the campaign in Mumbai. @narendramodi.”

Just a month prior, in April, the actor had also met with Home Minister Amit Shah. In a similar vein, he had written, “It was an honour meeting our honourable Minister of Home Affairs of India, respected Amit Shah ji, personally.”

In March 2024, Govinda officially rejoined politics and became a member of the Shiv Sena party. The formal induction took place in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in Mumbai.
Govinda's initial foray into politics was marked by a victory in 2004 when he successfully contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket, defeating veteran BJP leader Ram Naik. Despite his initial success, Govinda's political career was short-lived, and he later resigned from the Congress party.
