Election Day was a family affair for cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar who went to vote at a polling station in Bandra, Mumbai along with his wife Anjali Tendulkar and son Arjun Tendulkar. The iconic cricketer’s son Arjun, who participated in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, is a first-time voter.


The family obliged fans and photographers outside the polling station, posing with inked index fingers held out.

"For a better tomorrow, it is necessary to exercise your voting rights today, I urge everyone to come out and cast their votes," said SachinTendulkar after casting his vote in Mumbai.
