**Mumbai, India** – Ajaz Khan, a Bollywood actor known for his appearances on reality TV shows like Bigg Boss and controversial statements, suffered a resounding defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Despite his large social media following, Khan, running as a candidate for the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) in the Versova constituency, received only 153 votes – a stark contrast to the over 200 votes cast for the “None of the Above” (NOTA) option.

Khan’s abysmal performance sparked widespread ridicule on social media. In response, he attributed his loss to “EVM malfunction,” claiming that even established politicians with significant resources and name recognition underperformed. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), lamenting the defeats of other candidates and asserting his commitment to social work.

Meanwhile, the Mahayuti alliance, led by the BJP, is projected to win a significant majority. The BJP is currently leading in over 113 seats, with 17 already secured. The NCP, led by Ajit Pawar, has also exceeded expectations, winning 11 seats and leading in 29 others. The Shiv Sena is also performing well within the alliance.
