Anupam on Akshay Kumar's citizenship row

After the news of Akshay Kumar’s Canadian passport broke, he has been the target of a number of internet trolls. The actor is being constantly questioned about his loyalty towards India, and the matter reached to a level where Akshay had to put out a statement requesting people to not encourage a needless controversy. At the same time, he emphasised on his love and loyalty towards India, but none of that seemed to shush the hate tweets. However, veteran actor Anupam Kher has come in support of Akshay Kumar and has asked him to stop explaining his loyalty for India to trolls.
Anupam Kher took to the micro-blogging site, and tweeted, “Dear @akshaykumar! Have been reading about you explaining to certain people about your loyalty to our country. Stop it! Their real profession is to make people like you & me feel defensive for talking in favour of India. You are a doer. You don’t need to explain to anybody.”

Earlier, when the controversy about Akki’s Canadian passport broke, the actor tweeted, “I really don’t understand the unwarranted interest and negativity about my citizenship. I have never hidden or denied that I hold a Canadian passport. It is also equally true that I have not visited Canada in the last seven years. I work in India, and pay all my taxes in India. While all these years, I have never needed to prove my love for India to anyone, I find it disappointing that my citizenship issue is constantly dragged into needless controversy, a matter that is personal, legal, non-political, and of no consequence to others,” he added. Lastly, I would like to continue contributing in my small way to the causes that I believe in and make India stronger and stronger”.
