Akshay Kumar on right to vote
Akshay had visited the Gandhi Shikshan Bhavan in Juhu to cast his vote for the BMC polls 2026. According to PTI, he told the paparazzi, "Today is the BMC election, and, as Mumbaikars, this is the day when we have the remote control. Therefore, all the people of Mumbai must come out and vote, rather than complaining later about things not being in good shape. Everyone should vote to elect the right people. If you want to be the real hero of Mumbai, then instead of dialogues, you should come and vote."
Other Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Vivek Oberoi, and others are also expected to come to the polling booths to cast their votes later in the day.
