BMC does make good arrangements generally, but in my area the lines were very long. Still, no excuse not to vote. Junaid and Ira voting too is a nice family message.

Respectfully, while I appreciate the sentiment, I wish the article focused more on the actual issues of the local polls rather than just celebrity endorsements. What are the key civic issues being voted on?

Local body elections are so crucial for our daily lives - water, roads, garbage collection. Glad Aamir spoke up. Also, excited for 'Happy Patel'! Vir Das is brilliant. 😄

Cast my vote early morning. The arrangements were decent. Celebrities reminding us is good, but we should have this sense of duty ourselves. Aamir's work in 'Coolie' was a fun cameo!

It's heartening to see the whole family, including former spouses, participating together. Sets a positive example. On another note, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' was such a beautiful film. Aamir chooses meaningful projects.
