King Khan's post would definitely act as a reminder among his fans, many of whom have been inspired by his powerful monologue in the blockbuster film Jawan, where he conveyed the importance of voting and electing leaders who are free from biases based on caste, religion, or race.

Earlier on Friday, SRK's friend and fellow superstar Salman Khan also encouraged citizens to exercise their voting rights in the ongoing elections. Salman wrote on X, "I exercise 365 days a year no matter what and now I'm going to exercise my right to vote on the 20th of May no matter what. So do whatever you want to do man, but go and vote and don't trouble your Bharat Mata .. Bharat Mata ki Jai."

Additionally, several other key constituencies such as Dhule, Dindori, Nashik, Kalyan, Palghar, Bhiwandi, and Thane, will also be part of the ongoing election.
