Akshay Kumar was among the earliest celebrities to arrive at the polling station as elections took place across 29 civic bodies in Maharashtra, including the high-profile Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.
Before leaving the venue, the actor spoke briefly with the media, reminding citizens of their civic responsibility.
“This is the day that the remote control lands in our hands. I appeal to all Mumbaikars to vote,” Akshay said.
As he walked toward his vehicle, the moment took an unexpected turn.

Just as Akshay was about to depart, a young woman hurried after him, clutching a piece of paper and fighting back tears. Her voice trembled as she made a heartfelt appeal:
“Papa bahut bade karze mein hai, unko please bahar nikalo.”
Instead of brushing past the situation, Akshay paused. He listened. And then, without any grand gestures or showmanship, he asked one of his team members to collect the woman’s phone number, a quiet but powerful sign of support.
The fan, overwhelmed with emotion, bent down in gratitude to touch his feet. Akshay immediately stopped her with gentle words, “beta aisa mat kar."
