Aamir Khan, another big name of Bollywood who found a mention in PM Modi's tweet, had replied the very day. He urged all citizens of the "biggest democracy in the world" to avail the right to vote and get "heard".
Absolutely right sir, Hon PM. Let us all engage as citizens of the biggest democracy in the world. Let us fulfill our responsibility, and avail of our right to get our voice heard.

In another tweet, Salman Khan clarified that he will neither be campaigning for any political party nor contesting elections.
Recently, the Madhya Pradesh Congress had requested Salman Khan to campaign for the party in Indore, a crucial seat that has been in the iron grip of the BJP since 1989.
India will vote in seven phases from April 11 to May 19. Votes will be counted on May 23 and on the same day the results will be declared.
