"I request all people to vote. Please vote first and then go to complete all your other works", media reports quoted Amge as saying, while displaying her marked finger. The left index finger of Indian voters coming to polling stations to vote is marked with indelible ink to avoid fraudulent, multiple voting and malpractice. Jyoti Amge has acted in various television shows and has her own statue in the Celebrity Wax Museum in Lonavala (Pune).
