Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar’s nationalism about India manifests itself in his choice of movies, comments, tweets, and from the recent past, a “non-political interview” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the status of his citizenship is another matter.
In a video clip that has made its way to Twitter, Akshay Kumar can be seen dodging a question about casting his vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Akshay Kumar is, reportedly, a Canadian citizen.
In the video clip, a journalist is seen trying to elicit a response from Kumar on the criticism he gets for being unable to vote, and is cut short when the actor starts walking away without a response.
