Before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Govinda has once again returned to active politics. The actor, who was a part of many popular films in the 1990s and 2000s, joined Shiv Sena on Thursday. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde welcomed him into the party. However, the Hero No. 1 actor once went on record to say that Indian politics is a complete ‘fraud’.

Govinda had once termed politics as confusing.
Govinda was elected to the Lok Sabha as an Indian National Congress candidate, winning by 50,000 votes. After serving in the party as a Member of Parliament, he expressed his disinterest in political life.
In an interview with Hindustan Times in 2007, the actor said, “I am like water. My temperature depends on the environment. Things around me had become so unstable that I was not able to function properly. Cheating seems to be a byword in Indian politics. I won’t have any of this. From now on I want to be a part of only those groups that believe in decency and hard work. This applies to both cinema and politics. I have broken all relations with undesirable elements. I met Sonia (Gandhi) ji and told her that I want to work towards improving my constituency. Now, I find the clouds around me disappearing. I want to get as close to nature as possible.
When Govinda decided to leave Indian politics
When the actor decided to take a sabbatical from his political career, he was quizzed about his comeback. Responding to this, Govinda said, “Politics was never in our blood and our family. I will never go back to it.”
Govinda was last seen in Rangeela Raja. He is known for his iconic roles in films like Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Partner and Bhagam Bhag. The actor made his screen debut with Love 86 and has a Bollywood career spanning over three decades.
