'Ramayan' actor Dipika Chikhlia has urged people to cast their votes during the Lok Sabha elections.

She told ANI,"...Today is the fifth phase of elections and very few people are casting their votes, therefore I had posted a reel on my social media urging everyone to cast their vote. I insist and request everyone to please cast their vote. If you don't vote you would get something that would not benefit you..."
