Govinda, one of the most successful actors in comedy genre in the 1990s, who has proved his talent in more than 120 bollywood movies, is a part of Indian National Congress party. He was elected as the Member of Parliament from North Mumbai in the year 2004 and served the post for five years. In 2009, he bid goodbye to his political career as an MP and started concentrating on movies.

Govinda regretted his decision of joining politics and said that it was the worst decision in his life. "Sometime something does not suit and the same happened to me. I won't call it a dirty game but I must say it's very difficult to survive in politics when you don't have any political background. It was literally the saddest period of my life. I am happy that I came out of it without a bad name," Govinda told PTI.
