Mumbai: Bollywood actors came in huge numbers at the polling booths to exercise their rights yesterday. All three Khans-Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir-were there.

Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan voted in Juhu, minus Abhi and Ash, who were shooting with Mani Ratnam. Rakesh and Pinky Roshan came minus Hrithik and Suzanne.
Samajwadi party leader Sanjay Dutt came with wife Manyata, and wanted his leader to fulfill all promises. Manyata, though, said she was only voting to exercise her fundamental right but had no expectations because, “they are never fulfilled.”
Khiladi Kumar Akshay was registered as a voter two stations. He voted at Lokhandwala since his ration card has that address but he clarified that he has a house in Juhu too.
As always, John Abraham was one of the first actors to vote. John stressed on the importance of better infrastructure in Mumbai. First-time voter Priyanka Chopra had to wait for over an hour at a Versova polling booth after the EVM collapsed. She wants a young government to rule the state.
