For Govinda, this meeting was an opportunity to possibly discuss issues close to his heart, like the development of the entertainment industry and its integration with government initiatives.

Govinda has once again stepped into the political arena, marking a significant return after a 14-year hiatus. On March 29, 2024, Govinda officially joined the Shiv Sena party, in a ceremony graced by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. This event marks his re-entry into politics, an arena he first ventured into from 2004 to 2009.

Govinda's political journey began when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Mumbai North in 2004 under the Congress banner.
Reflecting on his re-entry, Govinda expressed amazement at the coincidence of his return, emphasizing the profound connection he feels with political engagement alongside his cinematic career.

His involvement in politics is driven by a desire to contribute to societal improvements and to use his celebrity status to influence and enact positive change. This move has sparked widespread interest and speculation about the potential impacts of his political comeback on both his career and regional politics.
