The tweet was in response to an earlier message from Narendra Modi who addressed Salman and Aamir Khan asking them to use their influence to inspire the youth to vote.

Voting is not only a right but it’s also a duty.

Dear @BeingSalmanKhan and @aamir_khan,

It is time to inspire and motivate youth in your own Andaz to vote so that we can strengthen Apna Democracy & Apna country.

Modi had earlier gone on what appeared to be a tweeting spree in which he addressed Bollywood celebrities, politicians, sportspeople and the media, appealing to them to encourage citizens to vote.

Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar were among those in Bollywood who responded to his messages acknowledging the importance for one to vote.

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.
Vote! https://t.co/24vWPQHXQy

Well said @narendramodi ji. The true hallmark of a democracy lies in people’s participation in the electoral process. Voting has to be a superhit prem katha between our nation and its voters :) 🙏🏻 https://t.co/rwhwdhXj1S
