Even as Mumbai goes to polls today, several Bollywood stars are expected to come out and cast their vote. While some are travelling due to their work assignments, most celebs in Mumbai plan to exercise their right. That said, much like the hoi polloi, some tinsel town folks don’t have their names on the voters’ list. One would think that celebdom comes with its own benefits but it seems that having one’s name on the electoral rolls is a different matter. hitlist tells you who in Bollywood may not be able to vote due to his / her name missing from the voters’ list…

Missing from the electoral rolls?
Madhur Bhandarkar
Madhur, who has always been vocal about his political views, is also not on the voters’ list. Madhur confirms, “Yes, my name is not there on the voters’ list. I have been voting in the same constituency for many years now, but this time around, I don’t know how my name has gone missing from the list. I plan to go to the polling booth and figure this out as I wish to cast my vote.”
Arbaaz and Sohail Khan
Actos-directors, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan too are missing from this voters’ list. Interestingly, their brother Salman’s name is very much there on the list. While Arbaaz remained unavailable for comment, Sohail replied to our message saying that he hoped to cast his vote today. “I hope my name will be there on the list; I will be going with my father tomorrow,” he said.
Esha Gupta’s Delhi debacle
The actress recently travelled to Delhi to cast her vote but was shocked when she got to know that her name was not on the electoral rolls. Miffed by the incident, she vented her anger on a social networking site. “Where every vote matters, the Election Commission didn’t make my card, and they refused to let my mom cast her vote today. Poor thing had to return with all her ids,” she recently tweeted.
