Actor-politician Hema Malini and her daughter, actress Esha Deol, were seen at a polling booth in Mumbai, casting their votes in the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly elections. Hema Malini stressed the importance of voting as a civic duty and encouraged all citizens to exercise their democratic rights. Esha Deol highlighted the convenience of polling stations being close to people’s homes, urging everyone to take the time to vote. Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan also participated in the voting process at the same location.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media to encourage voter turnout, referring to the elections as a “festival of democracy.” The elections are a significant battle between the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi, along with various regional parties vying for dominance in the state. The single-phase elections across 288 constituencies began at 7 am on Monday.
It is heartening to see public figures like Hema Malini, Esha Deol, and Rakesh Roshan actively participating in the democratic process and inspiring citizens to do the same. Their presence at the polling booth highlights the importance of every vote in shaping the future of the country. With the encouragement from leaders like Prime Minister Modi, the hope is to see a high voter turnout and active participation in the ongoing elections.
