That Akshay Kumar holds Canadian citizenship and therefore isn't entitled to vote in India is something that the actor hasn't hidden from anyone. However, it has become a norm every election for Akshay to be questioned about his citizenship. On April 29, the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections were held in Mumbai, and ever since then, Akshay has been questioned for not coming out to vote.

At a recent event, where Akshay Kumar was present to promote his brother-in-law Karan Kapadia's film, Blank, the actor was asked why he did not vote. To which, the actor dodged the question and told the reporter, "Chaliye Beta" while walking off.
