Indian film actors Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar were among the prominent celebrities who cast their votes in the last one hour of polling for the Maharashtra Assembly elections today.
Aamir turned up at the polling booth in Bandra West a couple of minutes before 4 pm while Akshay Kumar exercised his franchise at Juhu.
Talking to reporters after casting his vote, Aamir said a candidate should be declared 'elected' only if he has won 51 per cent of the votes in his constituency.
"This will ensure that the winning candidate represents all sections of the society," he said.
To a question on the politics around the 'Marathi' issue, Aamir said he was scared of politicians who use caste and religion to divide the society.
Among the other film personalities who exercised their vote as citizens included Anupam Kher, Zayed Khan, Arshad Warsi, Ranjeet.
