“Never has there been any doubt in my mind about who I am or where I’m from. So for those of you confused on my behalf…please don’t be! Jai Hind! #proudtobeanindian #govote,” she wrote in her tweet.

Recently, even Alia Bhatt was asked about voting but she said that she cannot vote in India as she has a British passport. Alia and her Kalank co-actors Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha were asked in a recent India Today interview how they can help impact the elections. “By voting,” said Varun, Aditya and Sonakshi. But when Alia was asked the question separately, she said, “I can’t vote.” Asked for a reason, she said, “Passport.”
Other actors who voted in Mumbai on Monday included Amitabh Bachchan family, Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan among others. The actors posed outside their polling booths, showing off their inked fingers to the camera.
