On social media, a number of images and videos of Rajkummar Rao, Kabir Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Akshay Kumar, among others, arrived at polling places early in the morning.
Akshay was observed talking to someone as he left the polling place. His inked finger was requested to be shown by the press outside the polling station. “What’s best is that the arrangements are excellent,” Akshay remarked. “I saw that senior citizen planning was done nicely. Additionally, it is clean. Vote kare, yahi hai ki sab log aaye (Everyone should come and vote). The most crucial factor is that.”
