Gauahar Khan, seen here with mother Razia narrates her ordeal while casting the vote: 'Make the effort, Go find your booths, and vote!! Vote now! I had a very confusing and frustrating time to know that my n my family's names were missing from the address that I have lived at for 9 years.
'Only 1 person from the family had received the voting slip .. N the people who have left the building for years, their names were all present.
'Some of the people who were in charge were extremely rude, coz there were almost 100 people who were complaining of the same n requesting to let them vote with Aadhar cards at the same time.
'But I did not give up. I went looking from booth to booth in my area n finally found mine at my 15 year old address along with my senior citizen mom. She is the one who has taught me to be patriotic since childhood.

'My dad was the son of a freedom fighter. Alhamdulillah. I didn't want my vote to be wasted. As a citizen of the country it's my duty to vote and right in a democracy. I love my country and I feel responsible for it. Guys Plssssss go and vote.
'Find ur names and vote. Don't miss it. Many thanks to @mumbaipolice your officers are really helpful and kind in this whole process.
'The volunteers are doing their best. A bad encounter with one frustrated volunteer should not deter you from voting. GO VOTE! Jai Hind.'
