Actor Saumya Tandon, who is enjoying the acclaim for portraying Akshaye Khanna’s wife in Dhurandhar (2025), found herself in a soup when she couldn’t find her name on the voter list during the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections on Thursday morning.

She had checked the details online before heading to the designated polling booth. But upon arrival, officials directed her to another venue, leaving her confused.

“I went out to vote after checking online. There was a help desk at the bottom of my building where people guided me to this booth. I even took a screenshot,” the 41-year-old told ANI, adding, “But when I got to the polling station, they sent me to another location, saying that my details were showing up elsewhere online. Earlier, the site directed me to Dalmia College. I don’t know why this confusion exists. After verifying my name online, they told me to go somewhere else.”

Saumya insisted that she wanted to vote: “I want to vote. This is my right, and this is my duty. So I have to vote. I didn’t go to the shoot today so that I could cast my vote.”

Polling was held across 29 municipal corporations in Maharashtra on January 15, with vote counting scheduled for January 16.
