While most of the industry folks turned up at the polling station, a few skipped their right to vote, the apparent reason behind their absence being the IIFA (International Indian Film Awards) that is set to take place over the weekend in the US.
The list of Bollywood celebs who skipped voting for the Lok Sabha elections include prominent names like Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shahid Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Kangna Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Madhuri Dixit.
Also, actress turned producer and IPL owner Shilpa Shetty Kundra made sure to give her vote. She later tweeted, "Hey Tweeto's Every vote counts. Make yours count too be a responsible Indian."
Vidya Balan has been a resident of Mumbai since childhood and the actress was seen casting her vote at Chembur with her family.
