Farhan Akhtar said, “I urge all people to come out and vote. It’s very important. It is our responsibility as a citizen of this city, state and country to be involved in its narrative…I hear that people complain about Mumbai and how it should be but when asked if they voted, they will say, ‘No, I didn’t.’ Then don’t complain.
