Actor Akshay Kumar, who formerly held Canadian citizenship, has spoken candidly about his decision to choose it. Speaking to the news agency ANI, Akshay disclosed that he made the decision since 13 to 14 of his films “were flops at the time” and his films “were not doing well at one time.” The criticism of Akshay’s Canadian citizenship was frequent.

What good is it if my soul, intellect, and heart are not Indian, even though I hold an Indian passport?
