Tamil Nadu Assembly polls: Rajinikanth's wife casts her vote at Stella Maris College

Latha Rajinikanth casts her vote in Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, urging citizens to participate. Actors Suriya, Jyothika, and others also vote.

"Every vote counts. This is the power you have on this day to choose your leader. - Vasanth Ravi"

Chennai, April 23

Latha Rajinikanth, Megastar Rajinikanth's wife, arrived at the Stella Maris College polling booth in Chennai on Thursday to cast her vote for the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

After casting her vote, Latha spoke to ANI and urged citizens to step out and take part in the democratic process. She said, "It is a constitutional duty as a citizen to come and vote."

Earlier, actor Vasanth Ravi also arrived at the Stella Maris College polling booth in Chennai to cast his vote.

The actor, while speaking to ANI, urged people to step out and take part in the democratic process and also made a humble appeal to those who had still not voted. Stressing that "every vote counts," he encouraged people to use their chance to choose their leader and not miss the opportunity.

"I think people out there in their homes who haven't cast their votes yet, please come in and cast your votes. Every vote counts. I still see a lot of names on the list that have not turned out yet," he told ANI.

"Please come in. It's a very important election, and I would say this is the power you have on this day to choose your leader, so don't miss that opportunity. That's my humble request," he added.

Actors Suriya and Jyothika also cast their votes today.

Several prominent leaders and personalities, including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, TVK chief Vijay, DMK minister KN Nehru, actors Rajinikanth and Dhruv Vikram, were also seen voting during the day.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu recorded encouraging numbers across many districts. Namakkal led the state with 76.43%, closely followed by Karur at 76.08%, Salem at 75.79%, Erode at 75.61%, and Tiruppur at 75.38%. Other districts such as Dharmapuri (74.68%), Dindigul (74.35%), Kancheepuram (72.51%), Coimbatore (71.16%), Kallakurichi (71.11%), and Tiruchirappalli (71.05%) also reflected steady voter.

Good to see the turnout numbers in districts like Namakkal and Karur crossing 76%. That's impressive! But I hope the urban centers like Chennai also picked up. Too many people in cities think their vote doesn't matter - but it absolutely does. Nice to see celebrities using their influence for this.

Respect for Latha Rajinikanth and other celebrities who came out to vote early. It's a small act but sends a powerful message. I wish more people would take their voting rights seriously - it's not just a right, it's a responsibility. The high turnout in rural districts shows people understand this better sometimes.

Really appreciate actors like Vasanth Ravi making a personal appeal to voters. "Every vote counts" - such a simple but powerful message. The fact that Tamil Nadu recorded such good turnout across districts is heartening. Democracy works when people show up! 😊

While I appreciate the celebrity endorsements for voting, I wish the media would focus more on the actual issues - jobs, education, infrastructure - rather than just the star power. Still, any encouragement for people to vote is welcome. The turnout numbers are promising, especially in Namakkal and Karur.

Love that Latha Rajinikanth called voting a "constitutional duty" - that's exactly right. Our freedom was earned through struggle, and voting honors that legacy. The high turnout across Tamil Nadu districts shows people are aware. Namakkal leading at 76.43% is inspiring! 👏
