Akshay Kumar finally confirms he is Canadian

    Akshay Kumar has decided to finally come clean about his citizenship. In a statement released via his Twitter account, Akshay said this:

    Earlier this week, a smart reporter got into Akshay Kumar/ Rajiv Bhatia’s face and asked him this:

    There is nothing wrong if Akshay is a Canadian, but what is wrong is he lied about it then and said this:

    About the Canadian thing, I am an honorary citizen. I’ve been given an honorary thing. I think it’s a thing that people should be proud about. I have an honorary doctorate also but I am not a Doctor. So this is what people have to understand.

    Please do tell, Akshay. Why should we be proud?

    He’s so foolish that he thought since he was able to con so many girls, he can also con every person living in India!

    Of course, people would find out that he is not no honorary citizen. He thinks we all have short-term memory and don’t remember what he said before.

    The best was when last year, he had the government release a statement saying he was and is Indian and does not hold a Canadian citizenship.

    If he carried that lie for so long, why come out now? Is it because his manager, Reshma Shetty, advised him to do so?

    Now he better brace himself. More questions are going to come. What we want to know is, why get the citizenship only for himself? Why not for his wife and kids? Was he planning to leave them all in India and settle there by himself? He did, after all, say he is going to retire in Toronto.

    Guess this question is now answered!

    The most important question, if he is a foreigner, is he allowed to be the recipient of a National Award?

    Anyway, now it’s like he is no less than those foreign producers who come to India and use its issues to help further their career and make more money. If he actually did contribute to society, it would be different. But he didn’t!

    Now, when will the #MeToo cases against him come out?

    Notice with Akshay how he is the type of man who thinks he can do no wrong and we just have to accept that? It’s like he thinks he can do what he wants, just like when he wanted to “Bajao” this young girl and never came out with an apology. He just kept quiet, even his wife apologised.

    So, what’s the deal now? Why come out as a Canadian citizen? Also, why did he hide when all of Bollywood came out to celebrate Canada’s PM visit to India years ago? (Just something we always wondered about)

    Akshay did hide and denied questions

    about his citizenship, just like he did in that video with the reporter. If he denied it all these years, he must have truly been ashamed to accept that he is not an Indian!

    He should update his statement!

    1. @ Admin

      Maybe you can reveal who this Anon is . He ‘s got an axe to grind. Is there a way to block someone ? Huh ! he might be back with another lame handle. I am already bored with this guy.

      1. She. Sweet that you’re bored but still writing essays. And begging to be left alone. I can see other people commenting on your crassness from May 4 but those washed off you easily enough. I must be a psychoanalyst huh?

      2. Dude ! At this point the profile you fit in is of A guy who has couple of restraining orders in real life. You seem to feel macho about harassing women .You have dates memorized about what I posted when I posted .

        Psychoanalyst ? I think you are using internet from a Prison. Some creepy shit you are.

        1. Lol classic victim complex after spewing bullshit for days. And better syntax. Wow I must be good if you’re making an effort to write sentences. Take care 🤡

    2. This anon ( wannabe political influencer )is making me a punch bag for his /her failed attempts .

      If only you can change people’s political beliefs by abusing . Such a mark of a wit .

      Seriously! Off my back .

      1. Kiran101

        I don’t usually pick on people for atrocious English but watching you struggle with the language has made me feel a little sorry for you at least. What’s your first language?

        I got into the political debate LONG AFTER your several dozen posts in defence of this govt. Glad it rattled you. That’s all I wanted. What joy that it worked!

      2. That explains ! You are that jobless, All this while waiting and watching to attack me . You bothered to make an effort and even derived a lot of Joy from it .

        And in-spite of my atrocious English you sought me out and started calling me names. I am glad to have given some joy to a low life like you.

        You feel sorry for me ? If this is what brings you Joy , maybe …just maybe you should feel sorry for yourself .

        Speaking of English language … What part of ” off my back ” did you not understand ?

      3. yeah it was fun. obviously not because the quality of the debate was challenging. just fun to rattle a troll who was till now quite happily ruling the comments with half-assed arguments and silly terminology. seriously … “jew hatred ness”?

      4. You need more STREANH to support your claim of anti-semitism among Indians my dear. And that wasn’t even your most ludicrous argument.

      5. Look at you …Tell me one person who thought of you as an intelligent being here. I just coined a term nonchalantly and you are after me for that ?

        I do not proof read what I write, check for grammar mistakes or even spell check and use I.M. speak. Its not like you are sweeping everyone’s feet off here with your coherent arguments. You haven’t said a single impressive thing so far nor do I see your comments here being hailed as a great success.

        You probably are here under different name to attack me for not aligning myself with your belief system.I did not even bother to engage with you. You are the troll here.

        Let me be a little more clear since you are such a DUD . Leave me alone. Get that ?

    3. While on the topic of fascism, begs mentioning that Sonia Gandhi’s Italian father, Stefano Maino, fought in World War II as a Nazi soldier, was a lifelong loyal supporter of fascist Mussolini and supported Indira Gandhi’s emergency. But sure Modi is the fascist. And let’s skewer Akshay Kumar while we turn a blind eye to British citizen Alia Bhatt actively stealing jobs from Indian actresses, lying to the public for the past 5 years about getting Indian citizenship when she has no such plans and declared plans for investing in London’s real estate market, while her father Mahesh Bhatt hurls slippers at actresses and engages in casting couch to keep the outsiders outside and the insiders inside, and her mother Soni Razdan spreads communal hatred on social media and abuses the platform to attack Alia’s rival actresses along with Pooja Bhatt. Did I mention Congress protecting Rahul Bhatt from criminal conspiracy charges related to Mumbai attacks? What a fine family indeed!!! But hey, it’s always the other party that’s the problem.

    4. Kiran101

      1) I never said Akshay did not have a right to express his political views. The ravish Kumar interview link I shared satirised the tone and content of the interview.

      2) why do you keep bringing up my residency in london as an insult? Does it make me less of a human being?

      3) being critical of amit Shah modi adityanath pragya and the like does not make me a self hating Hindu or hinduphobic because I don’t believe they speak for Hindus everywhere.

      4) why on earth are you accusing me of Jew hatred?! The link I shared about Nazi symbolism in pockets of India was published in a left wing Israeli newspaper. The same newspaper is also critical of the occupation of Palestinian territories. That does not make them (or me) anti Semitic it just means we recognise the Palestinians’ right to self determination (as do many Jewish people in london incidentally).

      I deliberately avoided addressing/responding to you in any comments here because I know there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of us agreeing on anything. Is there any chance you can keep things civil on this forum. If you intend to keep making personal attacks on me let me know now and I can stop coming on this site. Life’s too short. Bye now and have a nice life.

      1. Let me see . There are atleast 4 ppl on this forum who equated anything associated with BJP as hitler , nazis , gaurakshak jibes , 2002 riots , megalomaniac lynchmob with one sided bashing while leaving out key details .

        But hey call on me to be civill . I am not a resident of India either to insult ur British nationality . But ur one sided criticism is hypocritical and publishing links to calling Hindus nazis . But hey u have not showed a link in opposing view . So don’t tell me u did not dig for those articles to tell us exactly that .

        No one keeps it lying low when u make nazi references …If u know truly what it means .

        Btw there are pragya ‘s in Congress also .

    5. Riding two boats at the same time, why? You make your wealth in India, pay taxes,in India , yet,wants Canadian citizenship ,too! It does makes one wonder! He is trying to get away with something !

    6. For those saying that Hindus are not racist, castiest pricks & minorities are not being targeted, please give up your upper caste Hindu privilege & adopt a Dalit last name. When you do that, I shall whole heartedly believe you. Till then stop hiding your bigotry under the garb of nationalism

      1. Oh yes, ALL Hindus are casteist pricks and should adopt Dalit names. ALL Muslims are terrorists and should take up other religions. ALL Christians are racists and should turn communists. ALL men are misogynists and should never leave home.

        Because you know, the behavior of some should be the basis of prejudice against ALL.

      2. Nancy, 100% agree. It is so easy to have a privilege and claim that there is no bias or classism in our country. People who don’t even have a basic understanding of the issue come on these forums and harp about history. They are not aware of what is currently happening. And they call themselves nationalists! BTW i downvoted your comment by mistake. Couldn’t find a way to reverse it 🙁

    7. 1984 and 2000 riots are not the same. The sikh genocide was started by ruling political family in revenge for their own kin’s death.

      2002 riots were started when kar sevaks were burned alive by muslim mob . Modi did not start it …he faced SIT and CBI investigation DURING CONGRESS rule . He was interrogated several times and 7 hrs at a stretch.

      Never talk of 2002 riots before you talk about torching kar sevaks in train by muslim mob . Why is the price of a hindu means nothing to anyone here ? Bengal mob is beating up and killing hindus , but yeah its fair game since its Mamta Banerjee and its hidus who are dying.

      Something which the Gandhi family never did … Both MODI- RAGA are still contesting elections ….everything THEY did in past , present is relevant not just Modi’s .

      Sadly no one writes articles on these to be shared by a hindu-jew phobics here. Atleast do not pretend to be humane when one writes clearly that their self interest is at stake during a citizenship debate . The same person is giving sermons again since its address their self interest …hey but call hindus Nazis when they show self interest.

    8. Politically, I have preferred BJP over Congress. So that said, I will also say this. It is highly hypocritical for a BJP that constantly harps about Muslims having divided loyalties, questioning Deepika’s nationality etc, to be so on board with Akshay Kumar. Quick question for them. If Citizenship is complete allegiance, then where does Akshay’s allegiance lie? On matters of grave importance to India’s Economy (say trade treaties) or its Security (Khalistani terrorists in Canada), would Akshay support India or Canada?

      Second, let’s hark back to the rumors of his sexual harassment settlement with Aditi Rao Hydari. How is the government protecting their citizens from harassment by foreign nationals at work? I asked a similar question of the Congress supporting Soni Razdan/Alia Bhatt, and I will da.mn well ask that of BJP too. And for those asking why Aditi settled, have no doubt that his proximity to BJP, the party in power and the fact that Akshay can easily fly the coop to Canada played a huge part.

      Last but not the least, for those who are equating nationalism to extremism, and the current government to Nazis. I have questions for you? Are soldiers dying on our borders for the nation, extremists? Because, I cannot think of anything more extreme than giving your life for your nation, it’s citizens and what it stands for. Also, are we sending people into gas chambers, mass murdering them and throwing their bodies into shallow pits, and annihilating millions on the basis of their RACE? If not, cut it out and go back and read history. When you exaggerate the real suffering of people for your own gain, you insult and demean their suffering all over again. BJP may be a lot of things but it is NOT racist, and NOT Nazi. Worse riots (1984) and human rights violations (Emergency) have happened under Congress rule than in BJP rule, without them being called out as Nazi.

      1. Madamji, yes the Congress is accountable for what happened to the Sikhs in 1984. But in 2019, at least, the Congress is not hacking Sikhs to death.

        However, Modi”ji’ is accountable for Gujarat 2002 and is still turning the other cheek very helpfully while his party supports gaurakshaks who hack Muslims and Dalits.

        Take your Hindu self-pride and examine it carefully. If it exists only when you can exist by bashing and killing other people, it’s not self -respect, It’s thuggery plain and simple. And please, no need to bring up centuries old Muslim kings. Your Hindu PM is as bad as them.

        AND HE’S LOUSY AT ECONOMICS AS WELL.

      2. Tina. : another question to these ppl … if Hindus without any Jew hatred when praise hitler are nazis then what shud we call Indians who do not support Israel since they helped us in Kargil war etc just coz they have religious obligation to hate Jews.

      3. @ LK

        Quote from article: “Students in the south Indian city of Madurai justified their admiration for Hitler, without even knowing that he was the leader of Germany.”

        The writer himself acknowledges that it is a bizarre fetish. If you dig enough, you will find enough bizarre beliefs in India – does not reflect anything but bizarreness. FYI Bal Thackeray was both a huge supporter of Israel and a fan of Hitler – talk about irony. Also huge fans of Hitler are old timers who are admirers of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. ‘Coz Hitler helped him raise the ‘Azad Hind Fauj/ Indian National Army’ against the British. And when officers in the INA, who fought with the Nazi Germany led Axis powers (namely Colonel Prem Sahgal, Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, and Major General Shah Nawaz Khan) were court-martial-ed for treason by the British, it was the Indian National Congress that defended them.

        So yeah, History is both nuanced and bizarre, and Indian and Pakistani Armies have their genesis in the INA that Hitler helped setup. Nope, that doesn’t make them Nazi either.

      4. So you are saying since the ‘hacking’ happened in 1984, Congress is legit for 2019? Also, where exactly are 1984 level of riots happening in India, in 2019?
        Modi was exonerated by the Courts – are you saying they were wrong? If they are wrong, who the decides whether or not accusations are true or exaggerated?
        Did not bring up old Muslim Kings – you are making a strawman’s argument, bringing up something that wasn’t even said, just to validate your point.

        My hindu self-pride exists very lightly and not like a chip on my shoulders. Because I examine it critically, and don’t take it seriously. But the idea of Nationalism though, I take it seriously. You would have known that if you actually read, and comprehended by comment. Equating nationalism to Hindu jingoism is entirely your POV, not mine. Maybe you should examine your own thought process critically?

        PS. Nazis were racist, that’s discrimination based on race, not religion. Again, pointing out some nuance.

      5. Alright @ Tina, that comment was for Kiran101. But to answer your questions,

        1, If 1984 cancels the Congress, then 2002 cancels the BJP. I’m happy to see both go. Modi may have been acquitted but people in his govt were convicted. You have to be naive to think they set up the apparatus on their own.
        2. However, my point was that ’84 was a blot on the Congress and they need to pay; but were Sikhs persecuted for decades after ’84? The BJP still goes after Muslims (you cannot say this is untrue — just listen to Bisht and Modi’s campaign speeches and if you disagree, well you’re not just a BJP supporter but a bhakt).

        I know for a lot of people the treatment of Muslims and the rise of gaurakshaks is par for the course if they get a “strong” “incorrupt” leader. I find this thinking repulsive. Worse, he’s not a strong, incorrupt leader. The BJP is as bad as the Congress in sucking up to money. Electoral bonds, the weakening of public institutions, etc. are a sign of corruption. I’d rather pay for BSNL which was an excellent service, rather than Jio. I should have that choice. BSNL was profitable but was shot down to benefit Jio. Is that the act of an honest man? And this is small fry. It goes deeper.

        Anyway, this isn’t the forum to talk politics. Just laugh at clowns like Kiran101 and her desire not to be a “self-hating Hindu”. Subaltern studies I suppose is a concept she won’t get.

      6. @Tina, thank you for elucidating that the Nazis persecuted racially. Systematic persecution however is what people are frightened of. Not picking bones about whether its caused by race/religion/caste/sexuality.

      7. This comment is for CLOWN @Anon … for all the preach looks like ur willing to hack anyone here opposing ur views.

        U started of by demeaning that kangana fans crawling over the place , calling us killers for no reason … at this point no one is a bigger asshole and clown than you.

        “Subaltern Studies ” did you say ? wat a joke , maybe you dont have a face to join discussion with SSG and coming here and showing off .

      8. @Anon

        Agreed with this point. So now that we agree with this, tell me what other choices do we have?
        Disagree with this. While BJP does use the Muslim trope, Congress are worse – they are opportunistic wolves in sheeps clothing with only one agenda -power at any cost. These days they have lost much power is why you don’t see their shenanigans at a larger scale. But at a smaller scale – Mamata Bannerjee is a Congress stooge and what is happening in Bengal is exactly how Congress operates. In Karnataka, Congress played to their ‘divide and rule’ policy when they tried to divide out Lingayaths as a separate religion from Hinduism, insinuating that they needed a special category because they were discriminated against. This was exactly how they fanned the Khalistani movement. BJP fans internal conflict, Congress fans entire terrorist and separatist movements whenever they get a chance and they will do it to anyone.

        Kiran101 may not be articulate but she does bring up good points. To call out one community/party for religious intolerance but not acknowledge that the other side is equally if not worse is not a fair argument. Also, one can’t on one hand denounce BJP, and yet not acknowledge that the current events world wide (destruction of Bamiyan, 9/11, ISIS) and closer home (Terrorist attacks in Bombay, the burning to death of Kar Sevaks, Sri Lanka, the near complete dissappearance of Hindu population in Pakistan etc) helps feed into this fear. Also posting articles that effectively reflect a niche behavior or belief system, and extrapolating it to systematic behavior isn’t fair either. There’s also selection bias inherent to it, when only one side of an issue is presented.

      9. @Tina, I have appreciated many of your comments here over time so I will respond to you. The BJP is as corrupt at the Congress and wants power at any cost in the same ways. And, in one way, they are worse. Their religion bias. “Congress+Cow” as Arun Shourie famously said. I cannot be blind to their ugly attitude towards minorities, their assault on institutions, nor their very poor economic track record.

        @Kiran101, lol calling me a clown after I called you one? What sparkling wit!

      10. @ anon. Poor you ! so far no one brought ur shit the ones who u respect or the one u called a clown .

        I even called you an imbecile. Leave me alone you derailed nutcase .

    9. PS. I have a hunch Akshay is going to give up his Canadian Citizenship for an Indian Citizenship.

    10. I guess this wud be my last comment on this topic .

      Just few days ago a certain Londoner and other batting for non- citizens criticizing Indian government and even encourage to vote them out. Now let’s say Akshay did the converse , suddenly all laws are violated which Bhatt campaign has been doing this ages.

      Nationalist image movies? May I very politely ask everyone to check out the movies Soni Radzan and Bhatt ‘s making ? Kashmiri propaganda movies .

      Please see the genre and message Kabir khan makes in almost every movie , what was Raazi movie ? We have so many Mughal glorified movies ?

      It’s all good but Akshay makes the same kind of movies there is so much chatter why ? All of these movies are equally propaganda movies.

      A lot of actors who hold different country citizenship have been supporters of some political party or other vocally . Akshay lied about his Canadian citizenship is conflicting news … it was widely known in 90”s itself and he himself addresses to Canadians as fellow Canadians in 2015.

      I realize it’s a gossip forum but nevertheless there are people here saying wat suits their views . I might as well add mine .

    11. Admin, but Akshay doesn’t seem like a person who would do something without a profit for him. So what’s his profit in this citizenship change?

      Heard some saying it’s hide black money or such illegal things. Is it so? Or some other reason?

      But the funny part is now we’re literally pointing fingers at each other, asking who is a real Indian! Sad.

      He dug his grave with the non political interview though. Now everything is political around him!

      @hatekjo Deepika voted in 2014 and 2019. She just posted a kickass message for those who doubted her nationality. It’s very rare of her to let down the diplomatic shield. Go check her instagram, her inked finger and words are right there.

      1. Akshay charges the most among all actors, irrespective of the outcomes of his films at the box office. So, he invested huge in property there. The money he earns In India, he invests in there. He knows Canadian Indians, who are rich and powerful. Remember how he launched that rich kid? Then Salman relaunched him. They helped him get that citizenship within a week when he applied. If he’s local there, it will be easier for him to invest in estate and earn from it there. He said he will retire there, right? So, he must have made his planned all along to settle down there.

        See, people are mad at him because he lied about it for years. He even had the government send out a statement supporting him and saying he is Indian. He was born here in India, but gave up his Indian citizenship for Canada probably around the time he started shooting there and liked it. He got it when he was shooting for Nagesh Kukonoor’s film, forgot the name, with Ayesha Takia in it. If he accepted it at the beginning, no one would have said anything. But he just stepped on the denial train and never hopped off.

    12. Kangana fans crawling out of the woodwork to support another Modi-lover. Have fun people! You can make some more WhatsApp-type news about this and circulate. Get busy, the fake news isn’t going to write itself!

      Also.
      Rahul Gandhi does not have a British passport like your moronic Susu Swamy has been screeching for days. Cry your ugly hearts out about that.

      Deepika voted. She has an Indian passport. Stop using her to make your creepy Akki seem normal.

      1. Wish dumb RaGa had a British passport ! Would have Saved us the embarrassment of him being an Indian !

    13. In other news,anyone know why PCs brother has two broken engagements. I find the whole chopra family shady. I pity the woman who will have to deal with PC and her mom. The mom looks really shady..and dominating . Her brother doesnt have the finances or the clout without PC
      ..he will have to live in her shadow as well as his better half. Anyone have inside info?

      1. Yup. This definitely needs more digging into. The mom seems to be living the high life courtesy her daughter and has acquired all the arrogance of the upwardly mobile.

      2. @smita, i heard her mom was aware of PC sleeping around for money, and was OK with it.

    14. Whoever is doing good to Bharat mata is welcomed to work,play, support charities etc. No matter what their nationality is. So
      Stop being racist to one another.
      Peace to all.

    15. It makes literally zero difference to me if he’s Canadian or Indian. 🙂

      I said i was curious to know why he applied for one because i didnt (still don’t) see the appeal of settling in Canada when he has everything in India and has political aspirations.(?)

      Also, stop patronizing and please be more polite. 🙂 This is a Bollywood gossip blog, take it easy or atleast do it with somebody who cares.

        1. Was I impolite ? I apologize if u think so . First world countries are not a great place to live if you did not acquire the wealth in that country

      1. Also , Please believe me when i say this … I care just as much as you do or did while i responded 🙂

        I admit my mistake of interacting with u…i will try to memorize ur handle to see it never happens again .

    16. Don’t give two hoots of his Canadian citizenship so long as he is paying his due taxes here and being a decent citizen.
      Problem is his lying about it + the Govt. lying for him as shown in a snapshot here by someone. For that folks are judging him and duly so.
      Also can Padmashree or National Award be given to technically non Indian citizen ? If not, this can be cited as fraudulent both on part of state and the person.
      Lastly, anybody got a clue why legally dual citizenship is not permitted ? Prima facie the idea doesn’t seem wrong but then legalities always go beyond the ‘prima facie’ness.

    17. Haha it is so funny! Bollywood thinks we the public are stupid! Gone are the days when one could show Hungary as Italy (hum dil de chuke sanam) now days U can’t fool the informed netizens anymore. Poor Akshay all hell broke lose regrade his citizenship with the non-political interview of Modi. And Modi ain’t even coming back so all was for nothing. Lolz

    18. Apparatly Alia and Soni Radzan wanna vote but do not want to give up British citizenship. But campaigning for opposition very systematically since long . Did you see the program with quit “ me the change “ with her for elections. But no one talks … man Hindu phobia is a real thing these days .

      1. Soni Razdan even shared false info of a minority victim appealing people to remember him during voting. Later turned out to be false and she deleted it. Nobody questions this or why she’s spreading false information while holding british passport.
        There would be many like this in bw with some citizenship somewhere. Hell even some “woke journalists” hold american passports while giving sermons to Indians.
        AK is prime target cz 1) His movies have been doing well lately while so called superstars are flopping 2) He has shown tacit support to ruling party.
        Rest all is humbug.

      2. Anon : asshole ! U imbecile stop calling me names if I do not submit to ur hate .

        Ur the kind who honks ur hate is better than mine . Go lick feet of Lutyens .

    19. The dude invests in a lot of properties…do you have to be a Canadian citizen to own properties there or to be a landlord of a building? Could be a major reason – it’d make business sense. That’s ok, we are no one to judge.
      BUT then don’t go around bandying about fake Nationalism and openly fanboy and support and campaign for(ALL his recent pro govt advert “movies”) a quasiFascist party and its leader who believes in giving Nationalism certificates based on the same stupid rhetoric (that AK even uses to sell BATHROOM TILES FFS!). All this when you dont even participate in the crucial backbone of a democracy ie voting.
      Hitler used the bait of Nationalism for genocide and this slimy invertebrate uses it for increasing his own bank balance! And if along the way a few minorities are slaughtered, who cares, right?

      1. So hitler was a nationalist like modi makes all modi supporters nazis .

        Now , allow us all to say the same about terrorists following a certain religion means very person who follows same religion also follows the same ideology of terrorists.

        People like you need to read on what actually happened during the third Reich .

        1. If the rising nationalism around the world doesn’t sound alarm bells for you then you do need to sit down and read a book on world history!
          If you think slaughtering a particular group of people based on flimsy excuses and the rise of right wing extremism during this govt’s regime is a coincidence…lol…
          Why use euphemisms?
          Islamic terrorists are the scum of the earth.Those who kill innocents in the name of religion are not even worthy to be called humans.also cough pragyathakur coughThose who killed Aqhlaq will burn in hell, but oops they are currently busy cheering during Mr Bisht’s election speeches! And uh it slips my mind, but what political party do they belong to again?

          FYI as someone who belongs to the educated, privileged, religious majority in this country I will not sit by and watch as these fascist forces target any minorities…neither should you.

      2. Agree @vishbonedecor. The rise of extremist nationalism is alarming and this is happening all around the globe. Unfortunate that cultures that were known for being broad minded and accepting of others have entered this phase where they are attracted to a guy who has been projected as some saint but internally is a sycophant and condescending to people beneath him. I thought this ancient culture can detect such demagogues but i was proven wrong. Disappointing !

      3. @vishbonedecor Ahh it takes more than someone trying to convince me to become the old self hating hindu while studying in a convent. The illusion that crime only happens to minorities and only during modi government is something I refuse to indulge in being as old as I am and having seen whatevr I have seen.

        And when time comes I hope the people you are batting for with do the same for you if ever situation reverses. Ah well ! these ppl refuse to acknowledge the mughal atrocities on hindus after several decades let alone have ur back when u need.

        1. To wit, age does not equal wisdom.

          If you really do have that time machine please do go back to avenge the deaths caused by the Mughals in the wars, also from Ashoka for the Kalinga war, ooh! Also from Alexander, and even(why not?!) from whatever environmental phenomenon that killed the Harappans!

          Next time I want to help someone Ill make them sign a bond that assures quid pro quo.

          And to everyone else crying afoul how “liberals” hate the BJP : this is not the first time it is in power. Tell me WHY there are only protests NOW and not during the Vajpayee govt?

          (I deleted Twitter for precisely this reason. You cannot reason with someone who is any sort of “fan”, ie critical thinking equals zero.)

      4. And there speaks another so called armchair liberal ! Spew venom on the current government and conveniently ignore that the earlier governments did equally controversial things .. but then memory is selective for you isn’t it ?

        1. @ sat I have been at pains to say this all this time . All these things and at worse have happened in the past . As if minority’s never killed other religion ppl . It’s only in India that minorities have brazenly killed majorities with all support to minorities. It’s still fine but people behave like all atrocities are only happening now is appalling.

      5. Ah, “rise of nationalism across the world”. If it is rising that means so called liberalism failed thus world? Or was it not liberalism at all?
        Coming to lynchings. Even one individual getting killed is not acceptable in civilized world. But then, is their a bias? Hell yes!
        Cattle smuggling is real in rural India. There are reports of some or the other incident between smugglers and police regularly. Few months back a temple priest was killed cz he was opposing cattle smuggling in his area. Do you know his name? No. Or do you know Chandan Thakur? No.
        But thanks to the media everyone knows akhlaq. Of course there should be justice in his case as it should be in that priests or Chandan’s case. But who cares if the victim is not muslim. Someone got killed in a train fight over seat and within minutes it was attributed to beef which was later proved false. Such is the agenda peddling.
        90% of those blabbering about 2002 riots wouldn’t even know what exactly happened. Their “knowledge” comes from woke journos who for years served the Italian dynasty
        Such whataboutery has led to rise of nationalism everywhere.

      6. Universal – what exactly are you implying about the 2002 riots – that it was a figment of imagination on the part of “woke journos” seeking to inflame communal tensions? I witnessed firsthand back then how the mobs had the tacit (and sometimes not so tacit) support of the state machinery. And yes I am fully aware the same thing happened in 1984. But as I have tried (in vain) to argue here before, two wrongs do not make a right. Both the 1984 and 2002 riots were abhorrent events in our nation’s history – a reminder of the utter depravity and inhumanity we are capable of. Neither should be forgotten or trivialised or rationalised or celebrated.

        1. Wonder how 2002 riots started . Kat sevaks for torches in trains by Muslim mob . But let’s forget thy . If Hindus are nazis then what are Muslims ? The crimes in the name of brotherhood they do and read articles of shiela rashid and raja ayyub the dame woke journalists who they they will not apologize for charlie hedbo killings . But want Hindus to be apologetic.

          Bullshit ! Hindus are propogaing nazi ideology as real as Muslims becoming
          Jihadis .
          Look in ur backyard? Give links to articles on srikanth bomb blasts and others etc . U don’t have to look very hard

      7. did I talk about wisdom ? Alas ! U don’t show much of it urself . I spoke of my spam of life and things I saw and still seeing.

        Save some o it for someone who is spreading hinduphobia and Jew hatred ness right in this forum with all bravado coz her interest s lies in it . If only crimes of minorities are as analyzed .

        Do u know how many helpless Hindus are killed in bengal ? But u support them . Kerala any one ? Hindus are dropping like flies but hey Hindus are nazis .

        Why is life of a minority more precious , so much that even when they kill everyone apologizes for them .

        Many Hindus are being lynched everyday but u self hating lot trivialize their deaths . Let’s spread word that Hindus did srilanka bombings in a CHURCH so that it prove we are woke lot . Media is silent here victim are Christians and offender muslims they are confused who to support .

        Media is as corrupt as politicians and clearly has its own interests.

      8. Kiran101, the problem with you right wing nut jobs is that you conflate universal truths with specific parts of your ideology.

        Remember if your tiny brain can hold this information.
        No one supports a suicide bomber. But that does not taint an entire religion.
        Similarly, if a Hindu bombs or kills, it is also a fact. But you cry self-defence in your case and won’t accept that argument for anyone else.

      9. Anon : Wat wing nut job are you …ur kind do not even look in ur own shitty backyard .

        I don’t need sermon from a selfish Hindu hater abusing when ppl refuse side with ur selfish agendas . There is a reason I don’t trust ppl like u .

        You pea brain think u exude intelligence or what ? Since you called me a tiny brain I am thinking you must be a highly respected scientist with publishing’s in Nature and have a couple of Nobels . If not then don’t delude ur self to be an intelligent being than ppl like me.

    20. Why people and media is making fuss of him being a Canadian? he never deny it . Many celebs like Deepika, Katrina, Alia, Imran khan and list is long holds another nationality. its common these day. Doesn’t common Indians living abroad holds foreign passport? I know many people who have dual nationalities despite living in the country.

      I am not supporting him but why only single out him and making him look like a criminal?

      He is right he lives here, pay tax and do charity etc for his country.

      I guess some rivals are after him and making a non issue a big issue.

      1. India doesnt have dual nationality.
        Deepika is Indian and Katrina was always British.
        Secondly Indians living abroad generally do so as Indian citizen or in some cases foreign nationality. But when you do the latter you have to give up your indian citizenship as India doesnt allow dual nationality. Once you give you Indian citizenship you can apply for OCI card.

        1. Having another nationality ,doesn’t make him a less Indian. He loves his country like 1000s of Indians living abroad and holding other nationalities. Deepika is not Indian. She was born in Denmark.

      2. @HateKjo For the 100th time, being born out of India doesn’t make you citizen of that country. Not all countries have birth right citizenship, just because US has it do not assume all countries have the same rules. Denmark doesn’t. Deepika is Indian citizen.

    21. Funny thing is He Applied for that citizenship..not like Canada offered him…and no problem with that too ..but all that in your face deshbhakti was only to fool the people who don’t have brains…and he LIED about it..he claimed he was an honorary citizen, which is a BIG LIE…on top of that the national award was a gift to him from his friend Priyadarshan and the govt…and immediately AK came out with a video how he has never lobbied for it and all crap …I was laughing like mad… read all the justification he gave for Akshay getting that award…but whom to trust?? .these award juries are also one of the most corrupt..read Rishi Kapoor paying to Get an award..so the rot has always been there..it’s just spread to mammoth proportions now..

    22. I don’t care about his citizenship but curious to know why he got one and his family didn’t.

      1. Yea, i mean why didn’t he get his wife and kids Canadian citizenship if he was planning to settle there at some point.

        I don’t see the big deal but i am guessing he wasn’t expecting his nationalist image to take off back then.

      2. You are assigning way to much importance to his support to a party. He is an Indian born and working and paying taxes and has investments in India . A lot of Indians even who do not have green card also lend support to democrats and openly criticize trump .

        Was Barkha Dutt USA citizen when she went to Hillary and interviewed her and wishing her to win openly and beat Donald Trump in New York .

        All very rich and celebs have political connections as they have many investments . Some parties are better than others for some kind of investments . You don’t really think that other BW stars supporting opposition have humanity in their heart …do you .

        Selling and buying a property is far more difficult for a non Indian citizen. So his family can be proxy for that . His family can apply for Canada citizenship any day and get it pretty fast.

        But , for untrained rich like twinkle and her kids life in Canada / USA makes no sense. Most immigrants are middle and upper middle class.

        The super wealthy do not care about first world country citizenship . U think it’s difficult for rich ppl to attain residency and eventually naturalization in USA or Canada .

    23. Don’t use the word passport, you gave Canadian citizenship period. But why lie about it and most importantly, WHY leave Indian citizenship in the first place?

      Are you hiding the real reason – it reeks of the likes of fraudsters who have a ready home in UK, Canada like Modi, Choksi, Mallya people..who need a ready home in case they have to flee. Akshay, knowing the kind of money making maniac he is, won’t be surprised if he is involved in some dubious activities.

      And honorary citizenship, gimme a break. Nelson Mandela, Aung su Kyi got Canadian honorary citizenship, Akshay is not even around that league!

      And akshay plans to retire in Toronto, this seems a pretty recent video..he again lied when he said he hasn’t been to Canada in 7 yrs.

      And making govt release statement about his being Indian..who released that statement, the govt. Is hand in glove in this lies!

      You are allowed to work and be a nationalist BUT stop lying, stop hiding why you left Indian citizenship, this us necessary since he is a public figure who claims to be all about India…it all seems hogwash now, a PR stunt to make his image and money. No doubt all his deshbhakti movies earned big hits and got him sailing even when no1 was working with him and he produced and acted in his own movies. What a scoundrel. I had a liking towards him because his patriotism seemed genuine, turns out it was a money making stunt! Besides, he can’t be given a national award that is for indians right? Padma awards are for foreigners.

      Likewise Alia, why hide, why be dumb to say you will apply for dual citizenship when one doesn’t exist , why not just own up to being a British citizen and not wanting to be Indian. What is her reason? Probably she dint change it but Soni got her and her 2 daughters British citizens, because they come from dangerous family of terrorist helper Rahul Bhatt etc so probably she wanted to flee with daughters if times go bad. Rahul got saved just in time in 2008 so she remained here.

      These people need to tell the reason for their actions and no its not personal since they are mega celebs, influence millions and earn because if this from Indians.

      Worst is govt, swamy and others targeted Deepika who born in Denmark so naturally was a citizen unlike India born Akshay, Alia. And she applied for Indian citizenship logically and voted and all those loosers went silent. But why didn’t they question Akshay and Alia or were they bribed to shut up.

    24. I don’t think the admin or anyone is pulling down Akshay for being Canadian or his attempt to contribute to nation.he could be a Canadian and still be a true deshbhakht.

      It’s about his lying,and all the public things he said or his PR said to deny it.what was the need?some are questioning if padma Shree and national awards can be given to non citizens.i don’t know the rules but if they don’t allow foreign citizen then his awards are fraud.

      He was trying to cash in on his Indian nationality just like soni and alia.why not honestly declare their citizenship,not being indian doesn’t take their right from having an opinion on indian politics.

    25. Oh btw ! Akshay Kumar in 2015 tweeted happy independence or something to fellow Canadians . So its not finally ….

    26. Call out on Akshay being a womanizer and its right.

      But, He being a Canadian is common knowledge even for me as 90’s kid who followed Bollywood then.

      Do you know ? Soni Razdan makes so much fuss on Twitter about Indian politics and urges people to support a specific party every single day …and she holds British passport.

      Half of the people in this world who continuously criticize Trump are not even americans .

      Hell ! even wannabe PM RaGa supposedly holds British Passport . But lets drag Akshay only into dirt for his citizenship and supporting a specific party.

      1. No . Akshay hasn’t either . I knew it in 900’s that Akshay is Canadian citizen . He himself few years ago addressed to fellow Canadians.

    27. Don’t get the fuss about his citizenship. Nothing wrong if the guy is making money by taking up national issues if it helps spread some awareness like Toilet or padman. Heroes holding indian passport keep doing la la land roles and earn big bucks. Atleast Akshay’s big bucks have some message. Also, Alia too holds a british passport. I am sure quite a few others in bw have other passports.
      P.S – This is not about defending AK flings. Don’t mix it here.

      1. Funny so many souls are getting hurt by this! He supports portal for donations to Indian soldiers, donates regularly. Still better than superstars holding Indian passport and doing zilch for the country. Infact, some of them feel India is intolerant. Hypocrites.
