The two also featured in her Instagram posts after they exercised their right. In one, Shruti showed her ink stain while in another she posed a pretty picture with father.
Kamal Haasan has entered politics by forming a new party Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) that is debuting in the election. He has put up candidates in all 39 Lok Sabha seats and the bypolls as well, hoping to make a dent in the vote share.
This is the first major election in Tamil Nadu after the death of towering personalities of state politics, DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi and AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa.
