Bollywood's rising star, Alia Bhatt is riding high on the success of her new found stardom. 

But the actress who has been urging the youth to cast their vote won't be able to cast one herself as she is not an Indian National. 

The 21-year-old despite of all her desires to cast her vote won't be allowed to do so in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as she is a British passport holder, and, therefore, does not have Indian citizenship.

"Unfortunately, I can't vote because I have a British passport. I am past the date (to get the official documents for voting) this time around, but I will try and get my voting card the next time (elections), once I get my dual citizenship", she said. 

However, the actress has not let her spirits go down as she is doing all she can to encourage others around her to go and make a difference. 

"I've been encouraging the youth to go out there and vote, because, I feel, if there's any change, it will happen through them. If I'm not mistaken, there are 12 crore new, young voters this time. Even if half of those 12 crore go out and do their bit, it will make a difference," she further said.
