"Vote, it's very important for the country. It's the responsibility of every citizen to go and vote. Don't make it a holiday, just go and vote," he said. Similarly, actor Gautami Kapoor shared her thoughts after voting, telling ANI, "I feel great. I think casting a vote is amazing. You feel liberated, and I think it is very important for every citizen to vote because every vote makes a huge difference. So, please vote... It's very important, we can change the country." Ali Fazal, another actor who cast his vote early on, also showed his inked finger, symbolizing his participation in the democratic process. Filmmaker Kabir Khan, Zoya Akhtar and actor Farhan Khan also cast their vote for the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024. This year's elections are being closely watched as Maharashtra is home to a diverse political landscape. With 4,136 candidates in the running, including 2,086 independents, voters face a wide array of choices. Major political parties like the BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP have fielded candidates, while the BSP and other smaller parties are also contending for seats. The BJP is contesting 149 seats, Shiv Sena 81, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) 59. The Congress has fielded 101 candidates, while the Shiv Sena (UBT) has 95 candidates in the race, and the Sharad Pawar faction of NCP is contesting 86 seats. The state has a registered voter base of approximately 9.7 crore, making voter turnout a key factor in determining the results. In light of the high-profile elections, elaborate security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of voters and the smooth conduct of the polls. Mumbai Police, in particular, has mobilized over 25,000 personnel, including riot-control teams and home guards, to maintain law and order. The Brihanmumbai Police Commissionerate confirmed that more than 2,000 police officers and additional personnel are on duty during the elections to safeguard the process. The battle for power in Maharashtra remains fiercely contested, with shifting alliances and complex political dynamics at play. The primary contest is between the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance and the opposition Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition consists of the BJP, Shiv Sena, and the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), while the opposition MVA includes Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction). In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, while Shiv Sena secured 56, and the Congress won 44 seats. In the 2014 elections, the BJP had a stronger showing with 122 seats, while Shiv Sena claimed 63, and Congress secured 42.

Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s final lady love <keyword id="650554" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hazel-Keech">Hazel Keech</keyword> - who he got hitched with in a private ceremony in Bali on Wednesday evening on the occasion of Diwali – may not be as famous as the Bollywood actresses he has been linked with like Kim Sharma and Deepika Padukone, but she is still a well-known face in the Bollywood circle. 
 Born in Essex to a British father and Mauritian mother, 28-year-old Hazel shot into the limelight when Bollywood actor <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>, famous for launching young actresses in the film industry via his films, offered Hazel a role in his movie Bodyguard. 
 
Before that, she debuted with an item number in a Tamil film Billa, however, it failed to get her any attractive film projects. She also appeared in a music video “Kahin pe Nigahein, Kahin pe nishana” which was comparatively famous among all her other works. 
 It was Salman who gave her the first break in Bollywood in a supporting role alongside <keyword id="2165" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kareena-Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</keyword> in Bodyguard. Then, for some reason, Hazel disappeared from the scene only to make a comeback in a very hot item number - Aa ante amlapuram in Kabir Kaushik's Maximum with Naseeruddin Shah and Sonu Sood. She also appeared on 'Bigg Boss 7', but failed to get noticed as she was voted out in the first week itself. 
 
After her eviction from the highest TRP reality show, she has now made a comeback as Yuvi’s fiancée. Sources said the duo have known each other for more than three years now, but they started dating only three months back. Things started materializing only after Yuvi’s mother Shabnam met Hazel’s parents in England last month and everyone approved of their relationship. 
 
The duo then went straight to seek the blessings from Yuvi’s Guruji Baba Ram Singh Ghanduan wale near Daphera village in Fategarh Sahib. If reports are to be believed they are likely to tie the knot at the Hansaliwale Gurdwara in Fatehgarh Sahib early next year. 
 
Recently, Harbhajan had hinted at Yuvraj's marriage in a funny exchange of a series of tweets between the two:
