Veteran Bollywood actress Shubha Khote, now in her 80s, made a notable appearance at a Mumbai polling booth early Wednesday morning to cast her vote in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024. A video captured by paparazzi shows Shubha happily flaunting her inked finger as she makes her way home after fulfilling her civic duty. Known for her understated presence in the industry, Shubha has had a remarkable career that spans several decades. She initially gained recognition for her second-lead roles in classic films like Seema, Paying Guest, and Dekh Kabira Roya, where her charm and versatility stood out.

Over time, Shubha evolved into a formidable supporting actress, portraying complex characters, especially those of wicked mothers and mothers-in-law. Films like Ek Duuje Ke Liye, Mohabbat, Swarag Se Sunder, and Saudagar saw her take on these memorable roles, which solidified her reputation in the film industry. Today, she continues to be selective with her projects and was recently seen in the television show Spy Bahu.

Shubha is also the sister of the late actor Viju Khote, who passed away in 2019. Viju was a beloved figure in Indian cinema, famous for his unforgettable roles as Kalia in the legendary Sholay and as Robert in Andaz Apna Apna. His contributions to Marathi cinema and television were equally impactful, with roles in Ashi Hi Banva Banvi and the iconic TV show Zabaan Sambhal Ke.

Alongside Shubha, other celebrities such as Akshay Kumar, Rajkummar Rao, Ali Fazal, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Kartik Aaryan, Hema Malini, Esha Deol, Ranbir Kapoor and Suniel Shetty also made early appearances to cast their votes.
