Actor-Producer Akshay Kumar To Renounce Canadian Citizenship And Passport

Mumbai, 24th February 2023: Akshay Kumar (55), an Indian actor and producer, has stated that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship and passport and has already applied for the process to do so.

Kumar has often faced criticism over his Canadian citizenship. “India is everything to me…Whatever I have earned, whatever I have gained is from here. And I’m fortunate that I get a chance to give back. You feel bad when people say things without knowing anything,” the actor said in an interview with Aaj Tak.

Speaking about how he obtained a Canadian passport, Akshay Kumar revealed that he asked for citizenship in the 1990s, at a difficult time in his career, during which he made over 15 failed films.
