On Wednesday afternoon, Salman reached the Mount Mary School polling booth to cast his vote in the ongoing Maharashtra Elections. He was accompanied by heavy security. Several videos of the actor have been circulating online, showing him wearing a grey T-shirt and jeans. He seemed to be in a happy mood as he was seen giving flying kisses to fans. It is said that Salman also took some time to click pictures with a few fans at the polling booth. Earlier in the day, his father, Salim Khan, and brother, Arbaaz Khan, were also spotted in the city casting their votes.
Shah Rukh Khan also arrived to cast his vote during the Maharashtra Assembly Elections in Mumbai. The actor was accompanied by his entire family, including Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan, and Suhana Khan. Shah Rukh seemed to be in a rush as he didn't stop to pose for the paparazzi and quickly made his way inside the polling booth. While many believed he would pose on his way out, he did not. Shah Rukh was seen wearing a white shirt paired with blue jeans, while Gauri aced her look in a white tank top paired with a beige coat. Aryan Khan, who is gearing up for his directorial debut, looked dashing in an all-black outfit, while Suhana looked adorable in a long green polka-dot dress.
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was among the first celebrities to cast his vote in the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024, which commenced on Wednesday morning. As the polling booths opened at 7 a.m., the actor was one of the early voters at the venue. However, after he cast his vote, a senior citizen approached the actor and complained about the public toilet near Juhu Beach.
Apart from Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, several Bollywood celebrities stepped out to cast their votes and fulfil their national duties. Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Ranbir Kapoor were among those spotted at the polling booth.
