Akshay Kumar finally breaks his silence on the whole fuss about his citizenship

Akshay Kumar’s citizenship has always been the talk of the town. The actor holds a Canadian passport and his love for India is questioned by the trolls. Recently, he interviewed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and for that also he was trolled that how PM agreed to be interviewed by a person who doesn’t have Indian citizenship. Even Akshay not voting in the Lok Sabha elections has been in news for quite some time. But finally, the actor opted to speak up and break the silence over his citizenship.

Akshay 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. I would like to continue contributing in my small way to the causes that I believe in and make India stronger and stronger.”


Coming to Akshay’s movies, the actor will next be seen in Mission Mangal which also stars Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and Nitya Menon. The movie will be hitting the screens on 15th August 2019. He will also be seen in Housefull 4 and Good News this year.

Akhil Akkineni to marry Zainab Ravdjee in grand Hyderabad wedding with political leaders invited by Nagarjuna

The Akkineni household is set for another major celebration, as actor Akhil Akkineni prepares to marry Zainab Ravdjee on 6 June at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. This follows the relatively quiet wedding of his brother, Naga Chaitanya, with actor Sobhita Dhulipala late last year.

Unlike Chaitanya’s intimate ceremony, Akhil’s wedding is shaping up to be a grand event with a long guest list that includes political leaders and film industry insiders. Akhil's parents, actors Nagarjuna and Amala, have taken the lead in planning the festivities. Zainab, who is both an artist and a perfumer, has been in a steady relationship with Akhil for a while, and the couple got engaged in November 2024 at a private gathering at their Jubilee Hills residence.

Ananyabrata Chakravorty’s dark comedy 'Kaisi Ye Paheli' to debut at New York Indian Film Festival 2025

Kaisi Ye Paheli, the first feature by filmmaker Ananyabrata Chakravorty, is heading to the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) for its world premiere on 21 June. The film, which has also landed nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Debut Film, unfolds as a dark comedy set in a sleepy north-eastern hill town, where a lonely mother tries to reconnect with her distant son, a cop, by helping him solve a murder.

Chakravorty deliberately chose an unconventional tone for a very emotional subject. “We wanted to talk about loneliness and strained family ties, but without making it heavy,” he says. “Dark comedy lets us open up serious issues while still keeping people engaged. It’s how we get them to stay, watch, and then reflect.”

Who Is Patchwork? Glastonbury’s secret act has fans guessing HAIM, Pulp or Timothée Chalamet

Who is Patchwork? That’s the question everyone’s asking after Glastonbury dropped its full 2025 line-up this week. Alongside headliners Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, Neil Young, and Rod Stewart, one particular name stood out, and not for its fame. Slotted into the iconic Pyramid Stage on Saturday at 6:15 PM, between John Fogerty and Raye, is a complete unknown: Patchwork.

For Glastonbury regulars, this isn’t just a random name. It’s a tradition. The festival is famous for surprise sets under mysterious aliases. Just last year, an act called The Churnups turned out to be none other than Foo Fighters. With 56 "TBA" listings across the line-up this year, fans are certain this is another big reveal waiting to happen.
