Gauahar Khan, widely known for her candid and forthright demeanor, found herself in the spotlight recently as she left a polling station in Mumbai in a noticeably agitated state after casting her vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections of 2024. In a video that has since circulated widely, the actress and television host can be seen expressing clear displeasure with the voting process.
Gauahar Khan Calls Polling Booth Badly Organised
As Gauahar made her way to her car, she did not hesitate to voice her frustration, remarking that the event was 'badly organised’. This brief but telling comment has sparked considerable interest and speculation among the public and the media alike. The specifics of what exactly triggered Gauahar’s irritation and dissatisfaction with the election management remain unclear.
Gauahar also shared a video on her official Instagram handle and said, “I have an appeal. Why do we have Aadhar cards if we are not considered citizens enough to vote? Your Aadhaar card is your identity that you are an Indian citizen and you should be able to vote with that. People who have left the building are still on that list. I have seen it myself. And if I, my mom, my husband, everyone is registered on that building…. none of us are there. So how does one vote? We go with our Aadhar card, Id proof and they say, ‘No you cannot vote’.”
She went on to state, "Here literally people are fighting and going berserk over there because they have their IDs but the survey doesn’t have their name on the list. They are saying if you are not on the list then you cannot vote. I think that is the most basic deprivation of your rights to vote!"

Not only Gauahar Khan, several B-town celebrities casted their vote on Monday. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone also walked hand in hand as they walked towards the polling booth to cast their vote. The mom-to-be beautifully flaunted her baby bump for the first time in an oversized white shirt, while Ranveer also opted for white shirt. Watch the video here:
