Several prominent Bollywood stars came out to vote Monday as polling was held for six Lok Sabha seats in Mumbai, but Akshay Kumar was not seen among them.
Kumar was in news only a few days ago with his "non-political" interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
But the hero of films like "Kesari", "Toilet Ek Prem Katha" and "Airlift" which had nationalistic overtones, seemed to have given voting a miss.
Questions sent to Akshay's spokespersons about whether he voted met with no response
To which, Akshay had responded saying the "true hallmark of a democracy lies in peoples participation in the electoral process. Voting has to be a superhit prem katha between our nation and its voters."
