Mumbai: Even as several Bollywood celebrities turned up to vote in the BMC elections on Thursday, ‘Dhurandhar’ actor Saumya Tandon was forced to run from one polling booth to another after her name went missing from the online voters’ list.
Sharing her ordeal with news agency ANI, Saumya said that the confusion started when she checked her booth details online and followed instructions given there.
Despite taking screenshots and confirming details online, the actress was directed to different locations.
“I actually went out to vote, and I checked online. There was a booth at the bottom of my house where people were sitting to help me, to tell me abo
ut the booth or the place. They told me that I had to come to this location,” Saumya said.
“I took a screenshot online, but when I came here, they are now sending me to some other location because they are saying that your location is showing somewhere else online. Earlier, when I checked online today, they told me to go to Dalmia College. So now I don’t know why this confusion is there. When I reached here after checking my name online, they told me that I have to go to some other location,” she added.
The actress further shared that despite the struggle, she didn’t want to give up as it was her right and duty to cast her vote.
On the work front, Saumya has featured in several television serials such as ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’, ‘Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni Ria Sahani’, ‘Khushi’ and ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’, among others.
The actress was also a part of the 2007 film ‘Jab We Met’, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles.
She was recently seen in Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster spy-thriller ‘Dhurandhar’ as Ulfat Jahan.
