While PM Narendra Modi is urging the celebrities on Twitter to request Indian citizens to cast a vote, there are a few celebrities who cannot vote in the Lok Sabha Elections this year. The elections have begun and they will be held in Mumbai on the 29th April. While the citizens will be casting their votes for their preferred political party, here’s a list of celebrities that cannot cast a vote no matter how much they want it. The reason why these celebs can’t vote is because they’re not Indian citizens.
