Kareena and Saif Giving Major Couple Goals

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are seen heading to cast their votes in Mumbai, exuding a relaxed yet stylish "off-duty" vibe. She kept it effortlessly chic in a cream-colored high-neck ribbed sweater paired with classic blue denim jeans, accessorized with oversized black square sunglasses and a sleek open hairstyle. Saif opted for a rugged, casual aesthetic, sporting a fitted black V-neck T-shirt, light-wash distressed jeans, and a bright red baseball cap that adds a pop of color to his ensemble. They were later seen smiling for the paps, waving and exiting the venue.

Sonali Bendre Arrives With Her Family

Sonali Bendre was also seen stepping out after casting her vote, accompanied by her family. The actor smiled for the cameras, making it a warm and relatable moment as they fulfilled their civic duty together at the BMC elections 2026.

Aamir Khan and Paresh Rawal Arrive at the Booth

Aamir Khan was also spotted at a polling booth later in the afternoon, quietly arriving to cast his vote. Keeping a low profile, the actor completed the process without much fanfare. Paresh Rawal, too, was seen after voting, smiling for the cameras as he stepped out of the booth.

New Dad Vicky Kaushal On The Go

New dad in town, Vicky Kaushal, also made his way to cast a vote for the Mumbai elections today. The actor looked sharp in his casual look for the day. Denim shirt, relaxed-fit pants, and his cap and glasses gave the actor a perfect day-out look. Vicky also posed for the shutterbugs while flaunting his inked finger and then left in his car.

Shraddha Kapoor Brings Her Natural Charm

Shraddha Kapoor was also spotted at the polling booth, stepping out to cast her vote in a cheerful mood and dressed in a simple white chikankari salwar kurta. She waved at the paps and smiled at them before leaving from the venue.

Vishal Dadlani Shows Frustration About Low Turnout for Voting

After casting his vote in the BMC elections, Vishal Dadlani spoke candidly about his concerns, stressing the importance of timely elections for the health of democracy. He said he hopes whoever comes to power ensures that elections are held on schedule, calling it crucial for the country.

Reflecting on the current state of Mumbai, Dadlani admitted he’s worried about where the city is headed and expressed disappointment at the low voter turnout. He pointed out that there seemed to be more officials than citizens at the polling booth, calling the sight shameful and something every Indian should feel troubled by.

He added that he has stopped urging people to vote because the lack of public participation is deeply discouraging. According to him, if citizens don’t take responsibility for their country, the same problems will keep repeating. Dadlani emphasised that at the very least, clean air and clean water, the most basic needs for human life, must be prioritised.

Nana Patekar Casts His Vote

Veteran actor Nana Patekae was also papped outside the booth as he returned after casing his vote in his simple and casual look.

Hema Malini’s Graceful Presence at the Booth

Veteran actor and sitting Member of Parliament Hema Malini was another notable face at the polling station. Wearing a bright yellow salwar suit, she walked in confidently and cast her vote. She was later seen interacting with acquaintances and proudly showing her inked finger to the cameras.

Tamannaah Bhatia Keeps It Simple and Stylish

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia also turned up to vote in Mumbai, keeping things low-key yet elegant. Dressed in a soft onion-pink salwar kameez, she completed her civic duty with ease. Tamannaah briefly posed for photographers outside the polling station, flashed her inked finger, and quietly left in her car.

Akshay Kumar Leads by Example

Akshay Kumar was among the first celebrities to reach his polling booth at Gandhi Shikshan Bhavan in Juhu. Arriving early in the morning, the actor calmly cast his vote and then spoke passionately about the responsibility citizens hold on polling day. Using a relatable metaphor, Akshay said that Mumbaikars hold the “remote control” to the city’s future and should use it wisely.

He urged people to step out of their homes rather than indulge in empty talk. According to him, real change comes not from speeches or complaints, but from showing up and voting. His message struck a chord, especially as voter turnout often dips during civic polls. As he exited the booth, a touching moment unfolded when a young girl approached him seeking help for her father’s financial troubles. Akshay listened patiently and asked her to share her contact details with his security, once again reflecting his empathetic side.
