At that time, my friend used to live in Canada and he said you come here and we will work on something. My friend had offered me that we would do cargo business together. I said okay my films are also not going well and a person has to work, no matter where he is. When I started living in Toronto, I got a Canadian passport. In between that, two films were left for release. After the two movies got released it became a big superhit. I told him that I was going back. Then I got more films and reached here today. But I never thought people got a hold of it, it was just a travel document. I just pay my taxes, and I am the highest taxpayer."
Akshay Kumar on getting Indian Citizenship:
This year on Independence Day, Akshay Kumar took to his social media handle to announce that he has finally got his Indian citizenship. He shared pictures of official documents of him getting Indian citizenship. While sharing the picture he captioned it, "Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani. Happy Independence Day! Jain Hind".
Talking about getting Indian citizenship, he said, ""For 9 to 10 years I didn't go 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 15th August that I had got citizenship. But it is not just a passport, it is your mind, it is your heart, it's your soul that has to be Indian. What is the point if I do have an Indian passport but my soul mind and heart are not Indian?"
