Bandra and Juhu seem to be the hotspots for the stars. Interesting to see where they all live! But the real question is, did they vote based on actual civic issues or just for show? 🤔

BMC elections are crucial for Mumbai's infrastructure. Glad the turnout is being highlighted. Celebrities have a huge platform; they should talk more about local issues like water, roads, and waste management.

Kareena and Saif always look so stylish! But beyond the fashion, it's heartening to see veterans like Hema Malini and Gulzar also fulfilling their civic duty. Respect.

The article mentions all these big names, but what about the common Mumbaikar? Our vote matters just as much. Let's not make it only about celebrity spotting. Jai Hind!

St. Anne's School, Bandra seems to be the Kapoor family booth! Ranbir, Janhvi, Boney Kapoor all there. Good to see multiple generations participating. Now we need results that improve our city.
