AKSHAY KUMAR GETS INDIAN CITIZENSHIP

Akshay Kumar had a slightly different wish for his admirers on the 77th Independence Day. He uploaded a photo of his Indian citizenship documents to Twitter. He had previously stated numerous times that he would shortly resign his Canadian passport, and he actually accomplished this.

Taking to Twitter, Akshay wrote, “Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani. Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind! (sic).”

AKSHAY KUMAR ON HIS CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP

In the first episode of the current season of “Seedhi Baat” on Aaj Tak, Akshay Kumar made startling discoveries about his citizenship in Canada. The actor, who receives regular criticism for holding a Canadian passport, claimed that he applied for one and would abandon it to show his love for his own India.

“To me, India is everything. Everything I have acquired and gained comes from this place. And I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to return the favour. You feel horrible when people make statements without sufficient knowledge, the actor stated in the pilot.

The actor Akshay Kumar, who is well-known for roles in films like “OMG 2,” “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,” and others, talked about a time in his career when he had more than 15 failures. This took place in the 1990s. The actor claimed that his films’ underwhelming box office results motivated him to ask for Canadian citizenship.

“Bhai, my films aren’t working and one has to work,” I reasoned. I visited on business. Come here, my friend, who is in Canada, said. I applied, and I was accepted.I only had two films left to be released, and it was pure luck that both of them were huge successes. Go back and resume working, said a buddy of mine. I continued to receive more films and jobs. I neglected to use my passport. Although I had never considered doing so, I have now submitted an application to have my passport changed.

In terms of work, the actor’s movie “OMG 2” is presently playing in theatres.
