Farhan Akhtar asks youth to vote.
Bollywood star Farhan Akhtar has urged the youth of Mumbai to come out and vote in the civic body elections to be held later this year in the city.
Asking the young voters to not only vote but choose the right people as their representatives, Farhan AKhtar said, “It is important to do some research about the candidate who you plan to vote for in the election. You should avoid voting for that particular party, whom your family or friends are following over the years, without seeking any information about their candidate.”
The Bollywood star Farhan AKhtar feels that before casting their vote, youth must seek greater information as to which of the person out of those contesting the elections, is in a position to serve them better. Farhan AKhtar added, “This democratic right determines how this country will be governed.”
Farhan AKhtar has been an influence on the youth and made them come to theatres to watch his films as both his previous releases in 2011, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in which he acted and Don 2, which he made as a director have done well at the box office. But at a time when people, especially the youth is disillusioned by the political class, it is very difficult to say whether they will listen to the request by Farhan AKhtar to vote.
