Ajaz Khan, the `Bigg Boss` fame actor-turned-politician, contested the Maharashtra Assembly election from the Versova constituency. The actor-turned-politician received only 155 votes after the tally was announced. Surprisingly, the actor has a grand fan following of about 5.6 million on Instagram, but that clearly didn’t translate into votes. Notably, the number of votes Ajaz Khan received is about one-third of the votes that went to the NOTA option. The results show that the NOTA category received about 1,298 votes, which is significantly higher than the number of votes cast for Ajaz.  

Ajaz Khan struggled to breach 150-vote mark

Fielded by Chandrashekhar Azad`s Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), Ajaz Khan got a disappointing response, and his political debut has fallen flat, much like his earlier foray into politics during the Lok Sabha elections. Earlier, Khan had contested from the Mumbai North Central seat during the general elections, but he also met with a disappointing response then. Though Ajaz failed to turn his social media following into votes, the Versova constituency witnessed a fierce fight between Haroon Khan of the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Bharati Lavekar of the BJP. The results declared Haroon Khan as the winner with a big margin of over 1,600 votes, while Ajaz Khan struggled to breach even the 150-vote mark.
