Quite a few celeb families have heard voices of dissonance with a star supporting one political party and his/ her family member supporting another. We look at few of them...

This election year has been as good as any as far as star show at Lok Sabha polls is concerned. While some stars are contesting elections, some others have been vocal about their political allegiance - be it by way of showing support on social networking sites or attending rallies. What's interesting then is the fact that in quite a few celeb families, a discordant note has been struck thanks to the star's family member choosing to represent/campaign/vote for another party. hitlist takes a look at the families of these B-towners where different voices seem to co-exist in harmony...
