Pappus of B'wood

Elections in Mumbai saw quite a few B'wood bigwigs take out time from their busy schedule to cast their vote. However, there were quite a few celebs who in spite of being pretty active in asking people to vote, decided to give the V-Day (Voting Day) a miss. We bring you a list of a few Bollywood stars 'Jo Bolte Kuch Hai Aur Karte Kuch Hain' Though her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor played a responsible citizen, actress Deepika Padukone, who was a first time voter, forgot to vote.

Shilpa Shetty decided to stay in South Africa to cheer her team, Rajasthan Royals. Interestingly, the actress may have decided to skip the voting season, but that did not stop her from advising others to exercise their franchise.

Preaching and practising are two different things. Salman Khan, who actively participated in campaigning for major political parties, did not turn up to vote.

Preity Zinta was busy cheering her IPL team Kings XI in South Africa, so she decided to skip voting.

Akki was among the other celebs who gave voting day a miss. The star was busy shooting for Priyadarshan's film 'De Dhana Dhan' in Singapore. Akki when you can travel from 'Chandni Chowk to China' you surely could have come down from Singapore to Mumbai and exercised your right as a responsible citizen.

Shahid Kapoor also didn't cast his vote despite the fact that he was in town. We really don't know the reason why, but considering Shahid's 'good friend' Priyanka Chopra was also missing, we can't help but wonder if they were upto something 'Chup Chup Ke'.

Bebo's boyfriend Saif Ali Khan was with his lady love in New York as a result both of them were absent from the Mumbai voting scene.
