Ayushmann Khurrana encourages people to vote in Lok Sabha polls

The Election Commission of India (ECI) enlisted Khurrana to encourage voters to participate in large numbers in the elections.

The ECI's initiative aims to maximise voter turnout and ensure citizens exercise their democratic right to choose their representatives.

Ayushmann Khurrana, who enjoys significant popularity among the youth, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to appeal to the voters of Maharashtra, urging them to exercise their voting rights as the state heads to the polls on Monday, May 20.

Every vote is important because you will decide which leaders will steer the country in the right direction. Your vote is your voice. So vote, and make your voice count, because together we can shape a bright future for our country. Voting is your duty. Let's all participate in this festival of democracy. Jai Hind!"
