Bollywood celebrities and eminent personalities voted in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections today. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri were among the celebs who came out to vote. Accompanying the couple, was their five-year-old son AbRam, who the actor said he brought along to experience the difference between "voting" and "boating".
"The little one was a bit confused between 'boating' and 'voting', so took him along to experience the difference," Shah Rukh Khan tweeted today along with a picture of his family.
Shah Rukh Khan cast his vote from the Mumbai North constituency. Actor Priyanka Chopra, Congress candidate from Mumbai North and actor-turned politician Urmila Matondkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan, Rekha and Madhuri Dixit Nene were among the celebrities who also voted.
The fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections will see a battle between political giants in three of Mumbai's six parliamentary constituencies. High-profile candidates like Priya Dutt, Urmila Matondkar, Milind Deora and Poonam Mahajan competed for the votes of 96 lakh people.
Mumbai's most keenly-watched battle was in the Mumbai North constituency, with actor Urmila Matondkar making her political debut and facing BJP's sitting parliamentarian Gopal Shetty.
