On Monday, Shruti Haasan was spotted at Mumbai airport on her way to Chennai, which goes to the polls today. The actor was keen to cast her vote in the assembly elections. Haasan, who is shooting for a web series and the Prabhas-starrer Salaar, flew down specially to exercise her franchise. “It’s super important to do so. We have plenty of complaints to make on social media and in person, but the first step to making a difference is to vote.” Dad Kamal Haasan is contesting from Coimbatore (South).

Setting an example for the people, several movie stars, including Rajinikanth and actor-politician Kamaal Haasan, voted early on Tuesday soon after the voting started at 7 a.m. Star couple Ajit Kumar and Shalini also exercised their democratic right by voting at a polling booth. Wearing masks, they reached their polling booth about 20 minutes before the start of polling to vote early and reach home while avoiding the fan crowd.
