Akshay Kumar Opens Up On His Citizenship, Posts This Note On Twitter
Actor Akshay Kumar was recently a part of the controversy over his citizenship. The actor has responded to the growing controversy with his reply on the social media platform.
While many people questioned his Indian citizenship, claiming that he didn’t cast vote and holds a Canadian citizenship than Indian, Akshay broke his silence over the matter.
Akshay Kumar posted on his official Twitter account, breaking all the misleading controversies over his citizenship. The post read:
"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. While all these years, I have never needed to prove my love for India to anyone, I find it disappointing that my citizenship issue is constantly dragged into needless controversy, a matter that is personal, legal, non-political, and of no consequence to others. I would like to continue contributing in my small way to the causes that I believe in and make India stronger and stronger."
