BMC elections are crucial for Mumbai's infrastructure. Hope people come out in large numbers. Good on Deepika for reminding everyone.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish more celebrities would talk about *who* to vote for based on issues, not just *that* we should vote. The 'inked finger' post is nice, but real change needs informed choices.

The local body polls affect our daily life so much - water, roads, garbage. It's great this is getting attention. Voted in Pune this morning!
