How is it that no one has called him out on this yet? This is the first time a politician has publicly called Akshay Kumar out on his nationality and his agenda in Bollywood.
The person responsible for the headline above is Raj Thackeray, who is the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief. We don’t know much about him except that the movie ‘Sarkar’ was based on his uncle. He was rumoured to be in a relationship for many years with this very beautiful actress, who is not really acting since she got married years ago but is still very pretty.
In case you are wondering why this is a big deal, it’s because Bajao saab has denied it and called his citizenship, a honorary citizenship!
Back to Akshay Kumar, here’s what Raj Thackeray said:
Raj Thackeray said that films Akshay Kumar, who starred in both the films, was trying to walk in the footsteps of yesteryear actor Manoj Kumar, popularly known as `Bharat Kumar’, he said.
“But Akshay Kumar is not even an Indian citizen. He holds a Canadian passport and his Wikipedia profile describes him as Indian-born Canadian actor,” Thackeray said.
The MNS chief also said that films such as ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Padman’ were a covert propaganda for government schemes.
How come no one publicly questioned why Akshay Kumar, the honorary citizenship holder of Canada, was not present at the Bollywood event for Canada’s Prime Minister, which was held in Mumbai to celebrate Justin Trudeau’s visit? Mr. Bajao is definitely being protected, but by whom and why?
Also, have you noticed how Mr. Bajao and Mrs. Funnybones both keep quiet when issues surrounding them are made public? It’s strange, especially for Mrs. Funnybones because she thinks she needs to comment on anything and everything. Signs of guity people feeling guilty!
Idgaf about fake Akshay kumar. Who is this actress admin?
He was rumoured to be in a relationship for many years with this very beautiful actress, who is not really acting since she got married years ago but is still very pretty.
She’s a very beautiful actress married to a director, who is the ex of an actress now married to one of the biggest producers in India.
mr bajao [allegedly] is bajaaing many actresses
And the slut actresses are letting him do it in exchange for some dumb roles. Both, the parties are guilty not just akshay! What is the difference between such actresses and prostitutes?
Ok, unpopular opinion here but does it really matter? I mean if someone talks about basic issues we are facing and bringing those topics in mainstream discussions, how does it matter if he/she benefits from it?
Don’t we actually face this open defecation & hygiene problem for women in India? Of course if he starts putting others down in the process then that’s a problem. I don’t give a damn if he holds a Canadian passport or Egyptian. Fact is he is the only bw star right now taking up movies with relevant issues.
Didn’t Amir Khan do sn entire show like this earning big bucks and pretending to be doing social service?
As far as bajaoing or pretending goes, aren’t they all the same in bollywood?
P.S – I am not Akshay fan.
Yes, it does matter because these people act all high and mighty. We have actually said it before, doing a film is fine but what good is that movie going to do for people going through these things? Did AK contribute to help these people? No, in fact, he took away most of the profits for these films. So much so that the producers got nothing to pay their dues, it’s why they have no money now. He’s just taking advantage of this situation to make money. When films on social issues stop working, he will stop doing it. That’s how he sees things. Point is, there are actual people/volunteers on the ground working to fix these issues, it would have been nice if these movies contribute to their cause. But, these filmi people are only after money!
I agree on the real contribution point and that was proved by padman promotions. But then again, didn’t that movie bring real padman in limelight? My point being more in the sense that atleast a mainstream star doing such movies is bringing these taboo subjects in discussion.
And talking about money, he anyway can earn the same doing masala movies. Just like everyone does. And he probably will now after padman flops. All of them are pretenders, one way or the other.
It did, but then people already knew about him since CNN and BBC made documentaries about him. At the end of the day, the question should be asked if this film did anything good for girls? Did it make it easier for girls to get sanitary pads? Do they have facilities in school that can help them? Akki took away more than 40 crore from this film. The problem is these stars are using social issues and making money out of it. The media applauds them for that, but the audience is not that stupid. Stars have become more or less like Politicians!
But the main purpose for the film was to create awareness and remove the stigma associated with discussion of the topic. And I think they achieved both the targets. Why should AK contribute any more then what he has ? After all he made a commercial movie for profits.
U r totally right on this👍
Did it, though?
@admin the movie certainly created a momentum for this movement . But now its for the society and activists to carry it forward.
BTW, I am no Akshay fan and think he is highly overrated but I used to be a SRK fan and comparing their movies over the last half decade I think SRK gets away with too much bull-shit while Akshay has to work harder and get his choice of movies right every time to succeed.
Hopefully this newer generation of actors Ranveer, Rajkumar, etc.. will put the final nails in all this 50 year oldies’ (AK, SRK, Salman,) acting careers.
It’s the other way around. Activists created awareness, and society/community asked for more, and movies are made to take advantage of this change.
The movement to build more toilets for school girls, so they don’t drop out is quite well known in small towns and villages.
In fact Akshay’s Toilet Ek prem katha is completely out of touch. Especially the attitude about toilets being part of the house-it hardly exists anymore. Akshay just used ideas that already gained acceptance. I know this because a lot of my friends (and I am proud of them) work on these issues in small towns and villages.
The movie audience is very stubborn about their personal beliefs. If these ideas were not already accepted, people would not have liked the movie.
This is also the reason why we have so many pro-women movies after the Nirbhaya protests. Because it made the idea of women’s rights more mainstream.
Yes after release of padman now every indian woman will start using pads instead of cloth. Thank you so much God akshay!! How naive are you. You really think watching a movie will change our society which has been in the dark ages for centuries.
To this, I shall just say to check the ‘Roses are Red’ campaign on the Souled Store website. True, they are indeed extending their business. But at least a huge percentage of the sales is going to the cause.
It depends from person to person. I think the general frustration is that in the garb of ‘raising awareness’ AK and co. are just milking the cow for their own profit, which in my and other’s opinion is a pretty cheap thing to do.
“In the garb of” question might arrive if they claim they will donate the ticket collection for charity which they obviously didn’t. It’s a commercial movie at the end of it. Everybody wants to earn money. If it can raise some awareness in the process, good enough!
No its not good enough. We as Indians should demand more from celebrities like actors and cricketers. They earn crores. They need to have back to society more! But cant expect good things from akshay who even lies about his citizenship!!
I don’t like Raj Thakeray’s approach in politics, but he said the truth about Canadian Kumar, who is busy boot-licking the current govt by waving the ABVP (a fanatic student body)flag and trying to display his patriotism…..In reality, these HEROES don’t have any ‘Dum in their Bum’ to take a stand.. Ajay Devgn is also the same… He has invested in the solar industry in Gujarat…..and the new ‘Ramdev baba’ show is his present to the govt. All these babas are getting exposed for their hypocrisy and double standards now…..but I genuinely feel it is us, the Indian people who are FOOLS to get taken in by such players….
Very simple every Actor is capitalizing on their political connections. Remmber how SRK did with the Gandhis….they even dined at each others homes and etc etc.
yeah… not a fan of SRK either….It is alright for them to be friends.. but to use the connections to forward their career or get National Awards is so low level….Talent se jeeto na sab…to be honest, this attitude is there in most of us Indians… take for e.g. the singing reality shoes… children are made to ask for votes saying “main maharastra se hoon,, mai punjab se hoon, main gujarat se hoon, mujhe vote do… what crap….say if you like my singing, vote for me….have seen discrimination even within my own family…. absolutely hate such people…..
Exactly. The left wing people of Bollywood are much more opportunistic and greedy than the right wingers.
Ajay Devgn hasn’t done any favours to anyone by investing in ‘Wind’ farms in Gujarat. It was a high investment – high yield business in the noughties. It wasn’t him alone several other actors, cricketers, companies did that. You don’t get any favours from the government for that – basically you buy a few MWs windmills from wind turbine companies like Suzlon, vestas etc.. who in turn are responsible for the O&M. And ABVP is as much a fanatic as any other student body in India (but much lesser than SFI).
So true kabir! Laughing at deepaks attempt to act as if this is the first time ruling govt in india has been partial to certain actors!!
It’s okay Deepak.
Actors make fools of the general public with their fake image. Politicians make fools of actors (like Raj did with Karan and Akshay) when they want funds/power and every 5 years we the public can make complete fools out of politicians. It the ‘circle of life’ ;).
Oh yes. We should all vote for good for nothing nitwit rahul gandhi or megalomaniac kejriwal instead of modi. Yeah right.
Thank god Padman flopped or else there would be no end to the gloating of the fake-feminist/social activist/pseudo intellect Mrs. Funny bones. The lady was acting as if she was the first star wife to produce her husband’s movie or a movie on a social cause.
Actually padman is a hit(ranked second for 2018) and nearly 40croes went to Mrs funnybones’ account… The other producers have earned very less…. There are no losses with the film, but it didn’t become a massive hit like padmaavat… I think prerna didn’t earn much profit from this film and is now struggling to keep her other projects going
I thought it did average business at best, my bad. Anyways, it did not make as much money as Akki’s other social issue movies. Maybe that’s why Mrs. Funnybones is not gloating.
Calling twinkle a lady is wrong. Shes a doormat. Real ladies have a backbone. Twinkle is like a snake.
Definitely can’t be second as sonu te titu is the second highest grosser after padmavat.
Politicians are also not so innocent. But it’s good that someone has finally spoken about his real side . AK and his wife, are fake from head to toe.
Raj is doing this for election funding…whenever an election comes around he picks on a celebrity and a community who have to pay him money so that his goons stay away. Why does it matter that AK is now a Canadian ? Its not as if Canada is an enemy country and AK pays his income taxes regularly.
Canada is a country that still provides refuge to Khalistani terrorists and has its members in the government. So yes, it matters.
When Jallianwalabagh happened, Tagore returned his British knighthood. But this fake patriot who makes so much money from Nationalistic movies didn’t raise a voice. Are we supposed to happy he pays taxes? Well so do I.
Canadas pm Justin trudeau meets with khalistan supporters and organizations bcuz they are his votebank. i hate such opportunistic liberal politicians!! Media everywhere wants to project trudeau as this perfect man. But he has no spine.
Of course it matters that he is a Canadian. Are u crazy?? In every movie, ad, interview he pretends to be a great nationalistic Indian. He is as fake as his good for nothing idiotic wife twinkle.
Half the Indian population does not know that Akshay Kumar is not an Indian citizen… Mrs funnybones is a fake feminist and doesn’t have any hold over her husband… Mr bajao can’t keep his d**k in his pants…. Money is getting parked in Canada… Time for some more politicians to speak up….
Admin,
Is PC working with Salman in bharat? Or just another rumor? I felt katrina is cast in that movie…
Also those articles of Shahid and mira are so irritating… Mira claims to be more popular than many actresses… Shahid claims one of his ex gf cheated on him and the other ex gf might have also also cheated on him… Kareena and pc have clearly moved on in life…
Yeah, I saw that news too. But I thought SK is not in good terms with her.
About Shahid, I am kind of happy that he’s indirectly hinting at SRK. how much he’s trying to save his image, I meant SRK. About Shahid’s other girlfriend, it’s hard to guess. I don’t think it’s Vidya or Kareena
Let’s not waste time and words on Mira.. !!
Poor shahid. Growing up without a dad.
No user opportunistic Katrina lobbing for her sister Isabella for bharat even lallu know too much user may cost his career too.for race3 director want to cast her as one of lead bcz of what kind of publicity tzh was getting but lallu ask director to cast samebody else.her PR decline that its was never offer to her.
Yes pc n salman in bharat is true.
@amanda Why is PC lobbying for Khan movies? First the Aamir movie now Salman one. Read she got Kalpana Chawla biopic but she want to do Khan movie first.
Shahid is really trying to anger a lot of people. First he goaded Ranveer fans with all his passivr agressive tweets on Ranveer’s acting. Now Priyanka, Kareena and Vidya fans (most women in general) are bashing him and Mira on the PV article (one ex cheating article). Also what is Mira’s problem with Shahid’s exes? First she threw shade at Bebo by criticizing working mothers, then took a potshot at vidya’s dressing. I’m sure next she will take a dig at PC. Shahid must have really bad mouthed his exes to her and played the victim card regarding his past relationships for her to take digs at them publicly.
in nutshell…the above are reasons why Shahid never made it big. Never got people’s love.
Ah, so, true. And marrying mira will make shahid even more unpopular. I think growing up without a father has screwed his mind. His, father left his mom for another woman. And his mom too keeps going from one man to another.
He’s always been insecure and controlling, with a nasty edge. Pity, because he’s capable of great performances. She’s a pretty, “mean girl” who doesn’t really have too many critical thinking skills, and likes being a star wife. Read the exposé written by her classmate in college. They’re perfectly suited.
Im from the, same college as mira. Thankfully my batch had kinder and more accomplished girls.
PC had agreed to be cast opposite Aamir khan long back… I think it was kept a secret and was supposed to revealed at a later time to create buzz… PC has never worked with Aamir and maybe she wanted an Aamir Khan movie in her resume… Unfortunately Aamir walked away and she can’t be cast opposite SRK.. And that is when this news was revealed…
Regarding her working with Salman, she has somewhat mended her relationship with him through arpita… Now Salman says good things about her… She shares good equation with bharat director Ali Abbas zafar since the time of gunday.. She had stepped in when Katrina had walked away.. In addition to that, the female protagonist role is a meaty one and needs good acting skills… Maybe katrina might have been unsuitable for the role.. Everybody in the industry is aware of Katrina’s limitations..
PC wants her return to be a sure shot hit, and a Salman Khan film guarantees that… That’s why she is keen to act alongside Salman…
Regarding shahid and mira, they are all talk… The other industry folks have learnt to ignore them….
