Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has been in the news lately after his citizenship became a matter on discussion.
It all began with the actor’s absence from the polling booths during the fourth phase of Lok Sabha Elections. Soon he had to face the wrath of internet trolls over his Canadian passport.

Well now, the actor found support in Anupam Kher as he wrote, “Dear @akshaykumar! Have been reading about you explaining to certain people about your loyalty to our country. Stop it! Their real profession is to make people like you & me feel defensive for talking in favour of India. You are a doer. You don’t need to explain to anybody”
Dear @akshaykumar! Have been reading about you explaining to certain people about your loyalty to our country. Stop it! Their real profession is to make people like you & me feel defensive for talking in favour of India. You are a doer. You don’t need to explain to anybody.👏🇮🇳

In response to Anupam Kher’s post, Akshay Kumar said, “Dearest @AnupamPKher ji, duly noted, also thank you for this and thank you for being more of a friend than a colleague. Hugs.”

A few days back, Akshay also released the statement and said, “I have never hidden or denied that I hold a Canadian passport. I work in India, and pay all my taxes in India.”
“I really don’t understand the unwarranted interest and negativity about my citizenship. I have never hidden or denied that I hold a Canadian passport. It is also equally true that I have not visited Canada in the last seven years. I work in India, and pay all my taxes in India,” he had added.
