Shahid Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi were the first to arrive at Tampa Bay. Their fellow actors including Saif Ali Khan Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadda and Shabana Azmi left for Florida on April 21, clearly giving the elections a miss.
However, actors Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan will leave for Florida only after casting their votes.
Sonam Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and Ranbir Kapoor will also make a late arrival at Tampa Bay, as they too will attend the awards only after the elections.
