Alia Bhatt: The Gully Boy star holds a British passport and hence cannot vote in India.
Katrina Kaif: The popular actress adored by millions in India is a British citizen and holds a UK passport.
Imran Khan: Aamir Khan's nephew, actor Imran Khan, too cannot vote in India as he holds an American passport.
Jacqueline Fernandez: The Race 3 star often sets pulses of Indians racing with her glam Bollywood appearances – but she isn't Indian. The Bahrain-born Jacqueline Fernandez’s father is Sri Lankan and her mother is of Malaysian descent.
