Jyothika's Online Voting Claim Sparks Confusion And Mockery: 'I Vote Every Year'

Jyothika recently held a press conference in Chennai to talk about her new Hindi movie, "Srikanth." During the event, a reporter asked her why she hadn't voted in the recent elections, leading to some controversy over her answer. When asked why she doesn’t vote to set a good example since she supports films with a message, Jyothika responded, “I vote every year.” After being corrected that voting isn’t an annual event, she explained, “Sometimes I'm travelling or sick. It’s a private matter. Occasionally, we might vote online privately; not everything is shared with the public.”

Here Is How People Online Reacted:?

One person said, "Respected Jyothika Mam, Can you please educate me on online voting! Mam, looks like you are the brand ambassador of a new policy decision taken by the government – online voting! Could you kindly throw more light? It will help poor people like me who cannot afford to do international travels on taxpayers’ money like Udhayanidhi! BTW, Mam, better for you not to speak in English! Your English SUCKS!"??

Others mocked the idea, joking that Jyothika seemed to be promoting a new government policy on online voting.

Another person wrote, "You’re a special breed to be educated, & remain hilariously dumb. #Jyotika - You can’t sit at home privately & press a button on a keyboard to vote. This is not Big Boss. It’s okay to abstain from voting, but what hilarious excuses!"Overall, Jyothika faced criticism and jokes from people online who were confused and amused by her comments about voting."
