But this is very important for every citizen of Mumbai.”Apart from Hema, Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, Sanya Malhotra, John Abraham, Tamannaah Bhatia, Zoya Akhtar, Divya Dutta, Nana Patekar, and Vishal Dadlani were also seen at the polling centres in the city as they cast their votes.Polling has begun today and will run from 7.30 am to 5.30 pm, with vote counting scheduled to begin on Friday, January 16.
