Veteran actor Dharmendra, 88, donned a fedora despite the Mumbai heat as he posed for photographs after casting his vote in Phase 5 of the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
Dharmendra’s wife, BJP MP Hema Malini, arrived at the polling booth with their daughter Esha Deol to fulfill their civic duty. Dharmendra mentioned to the press that his sons Sunny and Bobby would also be voting.
Dharmendra, who represented Rajasthan’s Bikaner constituency for the BJP from 2004 to 2009, is a legendary actor known for recent films like “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” and “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.”
Hema Malini, the BJP’s candidate from Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura constituency, is seeking a third term as the incumbent MP.
Polling began in 13 out of Maharashtra’s 48 Lok Sabha constituencies, including six in Mumbai, on Monday morning, marking the final round of polling in the state.
