Actor-politician Hema Malini and her daughter, actress Esha Deol, displayed their civic duty by casting their votes at the Jamnabai International School polling booth in Mumbai during the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly elections. They encouraged citizens to exercise their democratic rights and emphasized the importance of voting for the future of the country. The celebrity duo was joined by filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who also participated in the voting process at the same location.
As the single-phase elections began across 288 constituencies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media to urge voter turnout, referring to the election as a “festival of democracy.” The main contenders in the elections are the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), along with various regional parties vying for power in the state.
Hema Malini and Esha Deol’s public appearance at the polling booth highlights the importance of citizens participating in the democratic process. Their actions serve as a reminder for all voters to make use of the accessibility of polling stations near their homes and take the time to cast their ballots. The presence of celebrities like Hema Malini and Esha Deol at the polling booth helps in promoting voter awareness and encourages people to fulfill their duty in shaping the future of the country.
