Actor Akshay Kumar shared the news with his followers on Independence Day and declared on Tuesday that he is now an Indian citizen once more.
Akshay Kumar becomes Indian citizen: On X, formerly Twitter, Kumar posted a picture of his Indian citizenship certificate. Kumar has received criticism frequently for his Canadian citizenship.
Heart and citizenship are both Indian, “Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani.” Happy Fourth of July! “Jai Hind!” The actor, 55, stated.
In the past, Kumar has said that a difficult time in his career in the 1990s, during which he had almost 15 straight flops, drove him to ask for Canadian citizenship.
After he chose not to cast a ballot in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, his citizenship status came under intensive examination. After he had a “non-political” interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi prior to the elections, the subject also came up for discussion.
The actor disclosed that he has filed for an Indian passport at a 2019 event.
On the professional front, Kumar is now starring alongside Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in “OMG 2.” Last week, the film had its national theatrical debut.
