WATCH: Anil Kapoor explains why he wasn't able to cast his vote this Lok Sabha Elections

With the days ticking by till the all-important vote counting scheduled for May 23, the nation is on the threshold of welcoming a new government. The Lok Sabha elections will see its last Phase Six taking place on Sunday, May 19.

Anil Kapoor who was attending an event on Friday was asked why he was not seen casting his vote on April 29. To that he said, "I was with my doctor in Munich kyunki maine ye appointment kuch 1-1.5 years pehle li thi. As everyone knows about my shoulder problem, I have this calcification in my shoulder and my appointment was exactly during those dates. Sunita and I were there for 4-5 days because of the appointment. We tried in the embassy but unfortunately we couldn't cast our vote there. I believe in future we could work on this that wherever we are, travelling in any country, we could cast our vote in that embassy. Election ki dates ek ded saal pehle fix nai hoti hain lekin baaki cheezein pehle se confirm hoti hai, to kahi na kahi ye cheezein honi chahiye, ki jaha bhi hum ho, us embassy mein jaakar hum apna vote de sake. I think that would be very helpful I feel."
