Mumbai, Maharashtra – In a surprising turn of events, veteran Bollywood actor Govinda is likely to join the Shiv Sena, led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. This development has sent ripples through the political and entertainment circles alike.
Govinda, a household name in India due to his illustrious career in Bollywood, was seen with CM Eknath Shinde recently, sparking speculations about his political ambitions. The actor, known for his comic roles and dancing skills, has a massive fan following, which could translate into significant support for the Shiv Sena.
Eknath Shinde, who has been leading the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, welcomed Govinda’s decision. “We are pleased to welcome Govinda into our political family. His popularity and influence will surely strengthen our party’s presence among the masses,” said Shinde.
Govinda’s entry into politics is not entirely unexpected. The actor had previously served as a Member of Parliament from Mumbai North constituency from 2004 to 2009 as a member of the Indian National Congress. His decision to join Shiv Sena marks his return to active politics after a hiatus.
While the official announcement is yet to be made, Govinda’s move to join Shiv Sena is seen as a significant development in Maharashtra politics. It remains to be seen how this alliance will shape the political landscape in the state.
