On the election day for the Tamil Nadu Assembly, numerous Kollywood celebrities, including Rajinikanth, Vijay, and Dhanush, were spotted casting their votes in Chennai. Actor Simran, however, took to social media to express her discontent with how some treated the voting process, stating, “It’s a voting booth, not a cinema shoot.” She emphasized that voting is a civic responsibility, not a performance. The polling for the 234 constituencies concluded at 6 PM, with early reports indicating a voter turnout of 62.97% in Tiruppur, the highest in the state, while Nilgiris had the lowest at 50.42%. The elections are primarily contested between the ruling Congress and the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, with added competition from the BJP-AIADMK coalition and Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Results are set to be counted on May 4, which will determine the future government of Tamil Nadu.
