govinda meets pm narendra modi after home minister amit shah it was an honour
Govinda took to Instagram to share a picture of his recent meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The image shows the actor-turned-politician warmly greeting the PM. Govinda had met with PM Modi during the latter's campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"It was an honour to meet Shri Narendra Modi ji, Honourable Prime Minister of India during the campaign in Mumbai. @narendramodi," wrote Govinda.
Take a look:
Earlier, in April, the actor had also met Home Minister Amit Shah. He had written, "It was an honour meeting our honourable Minister of Home Affairs of India, respected Amit Shah ji, personally."
Notably, in March 2024, Govinda made a comeback in politics after 14 years as he joined the Shiv Sena party in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in Mumbai. Welcoming him, Shinde said Govinda's experience earlier will prove useful to the party.
Speaking on the occasion, an emotional Govinda, who started his acting career in the 1980s and whose films were family entertainers, said after his first stint in politics from 2004 to 2009, he never felt he would return to the field.
"I am back (in politics) after a 14-year-long 'vanvas' (exile)," he remarked.
In 2004, Govind successfully contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket, defeating veteran BJP leader Ram Naik. However, he later resigned from the Congress party.
