In an interview with ANI, Akshay said, “I became Canadian because my films were not doing well at one point of time and I gave 13-14 films which failed. At that time my friend was living in Canada and he told me to come here. and we’ll work on something. My friend suggested that we do freight together. I said my films weren’t doing well either and a person had to work no matter where they were. In the meantime, two films remained to be released. Then I got some more movies and I got here today never thinking people were getting them, it was just a travel document, I just paid my taxes, and I’m the most big taxpayer.
Talking about getting Indian citizenship, Akshay added, “For 9-10 years I haven’t been there. It’s a very nice place and one of my best friends is there. I decided that I should take my citizenship. It was just a coincidence that I had received a letter on August 15 that I had obtained citizenship. But it’s not just a passport, it’s your mind. it’s your heart, it’s your soul that must be Indian, an Indian passport, but my soul, my mind and my heart are not Indian?”
Sharing the news of officially becoming an Indian citizen, Akshay took to his social media and wrote, “Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani (Heart and citizenship, both Indian). Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind.
In 2019, Akshay faced a lot of criticism on social media for having Canadian citizenship. In response to this, he posted a message on his official social media account. In his post, he said he didn’t understand why there was so much negativity about his Canadian citizenship.
