Bollywood stars emphasize the importance of voter participation and efficient polling processes in the Maharashtra elections

As Maharashtra gears up for its high-stakes state elections, Bollywood celebrities Akshay Kumar and Farhan Akhtar have lent their voices to encouraging voter participation and highlighting the significance of a smooth electoral process.

Akshay Kumar, known for his active participation in social causes, took to social media to praise the arrangements at the polling booths, noting that the smooth operations and well-organized setup would ensure a hassle-free voting experience for citizens. His endorsement came as part of his larger appeal to the public to take part in the democratic process and cast their votes.

“Impressive arrangements at the booth. Everything is organized and seamless. It’s our duty to vote and contribute to shaping the future of our state. Let’s ensure our voices are heard,” Kumar tweeted, sharing images of the polling stations. His comments resonated with many who may have been hesitant or unsure about the voting process, encouraging them to participate actively.

On the other hand, Farhan Akhtar, another influential figure, used his platform to encourage citizens to contribute not only by voting but by embracing their civic responsibilities. Akhtar urged the people of Maharashtra to take pride in their roles as voters, emphasizing the collective power of every individual vote. He called on people to “contribute as citizens” by making informed choices and being active in shaping the state’s future.

“Election time is a reminder of our power as citizens. Vote responsibly and make a difference. This is the time to stand up for what we believe in,” Akhtar said in a video message shared across his social media accounts. The actor-director, who has often voiced his views on societal change, stressed the importance of each citizen’s participation in ensuring that the electoral process reflects the will of the people.

Both stars have long been supporters of various social causes and have consistently encouraged their fans to take active roles in societal matters. Their comments during the Maharashtra elections are expected to inspire many to turn up at the polls and engage in the political process, which has seen heightened competition this year.

The state elections, set against the backdrop of significant political developments, are pivotal in determining the next government in Maharashtra. With public figures like Akshay Kumar and Farhan Akhtar lending their voices to the cause, the hope is that more citizens will feel motivated to make their mark at the polls.
