Shah Rukh Khan urges voters to exercise their voting rights, says ‘Let’s carry out our duty as Indians..’ – India TV
Ahead of the fifth phase of voting in the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Shah Rukh Khan has come forward to encourage voters to immerse themselves in the celebration of democracy and get their fingers inked. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, the Jawan star wrote, ”As responsible Indian citizens we must exercise our right to vote this Monday in Maharashtra. Let’s carry out our duty as Indians and vote keeping our country’s best interests in mind. Go forth Promote, our right to Vote.”
Reacting to SRK’s post about voting, a lot of his fans shared his monologue from his blockbuster film, Jawan. In the film, SRK delivered a two-minute-long monologue where he spoke about the importance of voting and how electing the right candidate who holds no prejudices towards caste, religion or race is so crucial.
While delivering the monologue, he urged people to ask political candidates, “what they will do for you in the next 5 years. If someone in the family falls ill, what will you do for their treatment? What will you do to get me a job?”
Earlier today, Salman Khan also urged voters to come out and fulfil their duty towards the nation. He wrote, ”I exercise 365 days a year no matter what and now I’m going to exercise my right to vote on the 20th of May no matter what. So do whatever you want to do man, but go and vote and don’t trouble your Bharat Mata .. Bharat Mata ki Jai.”
