Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood star, has put an end to the
controversy surrounding his Canadian citizenship. The actor shared a photo of
the documents confirming his citizenship to India. The document, which was
issued by the Indian government, states: "This is to confirm that the
individual whose particulars are given below has been registered as a citizen
of India...
Akshay has already
discussed his choice to give up his Canadian passport. "To me, India is
everything... Everything I have acquired and gained comes from this place. And
I'm lucky to have the opportunity to return the favour.
The actor is referred to
as Akshay Hariom Bhatia in the official documents, while Brijmohan Bhatia and Aruna
Bhatia are listed as his parents. Even though he was born in Delhi, his prior
citizenship was listed as Canadian.
"Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani," Akshay
captioned the image. Happy Fourth of July! Jai Hind, please. Fans of the actor
applauded him on obtaining Indian citizenship as he announced the news.
Akshay has already
spoken with others about deciding to renounce his Canadian passport.
"India is everything to me. Everything I have and everything I will ever
have comes from this country. And I'm fortunate to have the chance to repay the
courtesy.
Back in the 1990s, when
his 15 films suffered a string of box office failures, Akshay Kumar had
submitted an application for citizenship in Canada. "Bhai, my films aren't
working and one has to work," I reasoned. I visited on business. Come
here, my buddy, who is in Canada, said. I applied, and was accepted. I only had
two films left to be released, and it was pure chance 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. I never
considered changing my passport, but I have now submitted an application to do
so, he stated.
