On winning, Hema Malini took to Twitter thanking the people of Mathura. She said, “I thank all the wonderful Mathuravasis who have re-elected me as their MP. They have showered their love on me & appreciated my work as their rep for these past 5 yrs. I pray for your contd support. To all the govt officials & police personnel who always support me -a spl Thank u.” An equally elated Sunny Deol thanked PM Modi and Amit Shah for putting their faith on them.

While the celebs contesting from Congress also had a decent stint in getting votes, Manoj Tiwari was the only candidate who led in his constituency North Delhi. Urmila Matondkar who contested from Mumbai North faced defeat. While she congratulated her victorious opponent she also pointed out at the discrepancies in the EVMs. Talking to a news agency Urmila said, “I congratulate Gopal Shetty. We have noticed discrepancies in EVMs, we have prepared a report on it that we will submit to Election Commission at the end of the day.”  Shatrughan Sinha who this year had a new Congress ticket from his old constituency Patna Sahib.
