BOLLYWOOD FOR A CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT

They might be a part of the world of fiction, but Bollywood celebrities are well in touch with the poll scenario in the country and are calling for a change. With Lok Sabha elections going on, several B-town celebrities insist that voting is essential and some have voiced their opinion on how their dream India should be like. Superstar Aamir Khan highlighted the importance of voting in his final episode of 'Satyamev Jayate 2' show last month.

I think the present government failed on most of the fronts, corruption happened directly or indirectly. I would definitely need a change in political system. We need a stable and strong government. I would urge everyone to vote. I want the government to look into the increasing prices, internal security and terrorism issues, have strong foreign policy. As a celebrity I would expect some changes in terms of tax for the entertainment industry.

I am yet to take a call on this (voting). We want to live in a happy country. After watching things on TV and reading about people, I think they are intelligent enough to make up their mind on whom to vote for and whom not to.

I feel we need change (in political system). I think it is the sentiment that most people feel. There are promises being made when we are to vote. This time I hope more number of youths will vote. I feel and hope all the promises made will be lived upto. There are many issues and things that need to be addressed but I don't want to get into it. I would vote first and then fly to IIFA.

I would want India to stay corruption free... everyone is fed up of that main root problem and also the petrol prices. We as a nation are looking for change and are serious about it. I believe it is time for change and that change will come. My father, Shatrughan Sinha, has always taught us irrespective of the party whoever is doing well or delivering good one must vote for that party.

India badly needs a "modern Gandhi" today.Today the common man is not angry because of the corruption in the country, he is angry because he is a victim of corruption. Things like death due to negligence or a common man fighting the system to get his pension are very common phenomena in our country. I have tried to highlight these issues in my film. I feel Mahtama Gandhi was a great human being, a great leader, a great inspiration for the entire country and India badly needs a modern Gandhi today.

We definitely need change. We need people who are positive and who will go out and do the needful.

I am going to vote and I think it is the responsibility of every Indian citizen to vote. Voting will help bring the right people to power, otherwise we don't have the right to complain about things.
                    Arjun Kapoor 

Voting is not only a responsibility but a duty as well. We as citizens of India must take care of our country and voting is the first step towards it.
