Bollywood stars came out on Wednesday to cast their votes for the Maharashtra Assembly Elections in Mumbai. From Bollywood superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan to the younger generation of stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Rakul Preet, Ananya Panday and Shraddha Kapoor, actors were spotted at various polling booths across the city on Wednesday. 

It was a family outing for many, including Shah Rukh Khan, who came to cast his vote with his wife Gauri Khan and his two children, Aryan and Suhana. The family did not pose for the paps and made their way inside a polling booth amid heavy security.

Salman Khan also came to cast his vote amid heavy security. Khan has received several death threats this past year from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, and his security cover has been beefed up since.
