PM Narendra Modi also reached out to several young actors from the Bollywood film fraternity including Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt urging them to take up the initiative. Last weeks he tagged several stars from the film fraternity in his posts which he shared with the hashtag--'Vote For India'.
