Govinda joins Eknath Shinde's Sena, likely to contest from Mumbai North West

Govinda joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and called it the 'blessing of God'. "I thought I would not enter politics again," the actor said. Bollywood actor Govinda joined Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena on Thursday adding a splash of glamour to the upcoming Lok Sabha election in Maharashtra. Govinda is likely to be fielded from Mumbai North West as he makes a comeback to politics after a hiatus. Govinda, in 2004, contested from Mumbai North Lok Sabha on a Congress ticket and earned the moniker of a giant-slayer as he defeated BJP's Ram Naik. Later, he resigned from the party and took a break from politics altogether
