Kumar’s journey towards Indian citizenship has been one of transformation and dedication. Having faced a rough patch in his career during the 1990s, marked by a string of box office flops, he had previously obtained Canadian citizenship. This decision, coupled with his abstention from voting in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, had fueled public debate over his loyalty and connection to India.

However, the tide began to change when Kumar candidly expressed his affinity for India earlier this year. In an interview with AajTak, he emphasized that India held immense significance in his life and that he had initiated the process of changing his passport. This decision, culminating in his attainment of Indian citizenship, marked a symbolic triumph for the actor, who has long been an icon in the Indian film industry.

Akshay Kumar’s Citizenship Transition

Akshay Kumar’s citizenship transition wasn’t just about bureaucratic paperwork; it was a reflection of his deep-rooted bond with the nation. The actor’s desire to be an active participant in the Indian electoral process and the courage to address his past choices head-on resonated with his fans and critics alike. Moreover, his commitment to embracing his Indian identity stands as an inspiration for others who might have faced similar dilemmas.

Amid this personal journey, Kumar’s professional life has also witnessed a resurgence. The release of “OMG 2,” a film that delves into the realm of religious themes while touching on the significance of sex education, brought a much-needed hit for the actor after a string of disappointments. The film’s success at the box office, collecting ₹55.17 crore and still going strong, showcases Kumar’s enduring popularity and his ability to connect with the audience.

Directed by Amit Rai and produced by Cape of Good Films and Wakaoo, “OMG 2” presents Kumar in the role of Bholenath’s messenger, while Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam play pivotal characters. The film’s release wasn’t without its share of controversy, particularly due to its religious theme. Reports suggested that the censor board had put the film on hold, but it eventually received an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification.

Conclusion 

Akshay Kumar’s journey from being criticized for his citizenship status to being celebrated for embracing his Indian identity is not just a personal transformation, but a reflection of the nation’s evolving perceptions. As the actor continues to contribute to both the film industry and society at large, his story serves as a reminder that dedication, introspection, and the willingness to change can lead to redemption and growth, no matter where one’s journey begins.
