Actor Govinda has described the conclusion of his “14-year canvas” as his comeback to politics following his retirement from the Congress party.
On Thursday, Bollywood star Govinda returned to politics by joining the ruling Shiv Sena in Mumbai, where he was accompanied by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The actor had previously defeated BJP mainstay Ram Naik to win elections from the Virar seat on a Congress ticket.
The “Raja Babu” actor entered politics in 2004 when running on a Congress party ticket, he defeated prominent BJP politician Ram Naik in the Mumbai North Lok Sabha population, earning him the moniker “giant killer.” Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde greeted the 60-year-old actor and said he was well-liked by all facets of society.
“I am back (in politics) after a 14-year-long ‘canvas’ (exile),” Govinda remarked after joining the Shiv Sena. The actor said he would work in the art and culture field if given a chance.

Govinda, popularly known as Chi Chi, commended the efforts of the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “We have seen the same level of progress here (in Maharashtra) in the last two years, as we have seen in the country in the last 10 years.” Our primary goals will be the development of art and culture as well as the state’s physical charm.”
Govinda, who started his acting career in the 1980s, said after his first stint in politics from 2004 to 2009, he never felt he would come back to the same field. Mumbai looks more beautiful and developed since Shinde has become the chief minister, he stated.
“It is a divine blessing that I am joining the Shiv Sena. “I had assumed that I wouldn’t pursue politics once more,” Govinda declared upon receiving his official party induction from Eknath Shinde. Governor Govinda’s parents got along well with Balasaheb Thackeray, the founder of the Shiv Sena.
Rajya Sabha MP Milind Deora welcomed Govinda to the party, stating that he had known the seasoned Bollywood star for twenty-five years. Deora recalled that he and Govinda had battled together in the 2004 elections.
“I’ve known Govinda for nearly twenty-five years.” Together, we contested elections in 2004. He had been brought to Congress by my late father. He is a good-hearted individual who aspires to represent Mumbai, the nation’s cultural hub, and the creative sector, according to Milind Deora.
