Do You Know? Alia Bhatt Can’t Cast Vote In Elections Because She Has British Passport!

As Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited film Gangubai Kathiawadi is gearing up for release in theatres, Alia Bhatt is leaving no stone unturned in promoting it. She is currently in Berlin attending the Berlin International Film Festival as the film premieres at the event.

Alia is one of the most sought after actresses in Bollywood. She has won numerous accolades for her portrayal of an Indian spy in Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi which was released in 2018. The film went on to become her solo hit of the year and amassed more than Rs 120 crore at the domestic box office. She also starred in yet another commercial and critically acclaimed film Gully Boy.

While Alia Bhatt enjoys a massive fan following in the country but not many know that she can’t vote at elections in India. She also spoke about it ahead of the 2014 General Elections. Talking to Hindustan Times, she said, “Unfortunately, I can’t vote because I have a British passport. I am past the date (to get the official documents for voting) this time around, but I will try and get my voting card the next time (elections) once I get my dual citizenship. (sic; India does not actually allow dual citizenship).”
