Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, who went to cast vote in the 2017 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls, was not allowed as his name was missing from the voter list.

"My name has unfortunately not shown up in the list. It's very bizarre because I voted last year," Varun said as he stepped out of the polling booth.

The 29-year-old, who was upset because of the incident, said, "I'm going to find out where my name is from the Election Commission."

The 'Dishoom' star even urged people to go and vote "as it is very important."

On the work front, the actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming flick 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' opposite Alia Bhatt.
