Akshay Kumar finally gets his Indian citizenship

Akshay Kumar, who was brutally trolled for having a Canadian passport, has legally renounced his Canadian passport to reclaim his Indian citizenship on August 15.

The actor rushed to Twitter to share a photo of his Indian citizenship documents, expressing his excitement about the 77th anniversary of India’s independence.

Taking to social media, Akshay Kumar wrote, “Both my heart and citizenship is Hindustani.

Happy Independence Day!” Earlier on, Akshay Kumar expressed his sadness to a local media that people doubted
his ‘love for the country’.

“To me, India is everything… Everything I’ve earned and gained has come from here.

And I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back.

You feel bad when people say things without knowing anything,” Akshay poured his heart out in an interview with Aajtak.

He filed for Indian citizenship in 2019.

However the procedure was halted owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.
