Actor Akshay Kumar has usually been criticised as ‘Canadian Kumar’ by social media trolls for his Canadian citizenship. In 2019, throughout a session of Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Akshay had promised that he would quickly apply for an Indian passport. Three years later, he has shared an replace.

Hindustan Times chief managing editor-entertainment and life-style Sonal Kalra requested Akshay about his Indian citizenship course of on the ultimate day of Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2019. He stated he knew she would ask him about it. “Having a Canadian passport does not mean I am any less of an Indian. I am very much Indian. I have been here since last nine years when I got the passport. And I don’t want to get into the reason of why, what happened, my films were not working, blah blah blah, chalo woh theek hai,”

“Yes, I had said it in 2019, I applied for it. Then uske baad pandemic aagaya. Uske 2-2.5 saal sab kuch band hogaya. Renounce ka abhi mera letter aagaya hai (Then the pandemic happened and everything shut down for 2-2.5 years. My renounce letter is here) and very soon my whole passport will be coming.” When Sonal stated that he does intend to do it, he stated, “Main kya karu, maine thodi pandemic laya hai (What do I do. I didn’t bring the pandemic).”

Another criticism that Akshay took head on is how individuals usually troll him for taking over too many tasks in 12 months. He stated he does not perceive why that could be a downside in any respect. “I do 4 movies a 12 months. Yes, I do it. I do advertisements, certain. I work, not stealing from anybody. I do not perceive. People ask me why do you rise up early? But, morning is for waking up, proper. I do not perceive what I’m doing unsuitable. I’ll work. I’ll give 50 days if required and 90 days if wanted,” he stated.
