Lok Sabha elections: On Monday, during the fifth round of the 2024 LS polls in Mumbai, actor Akshay Kumar was one of the early voters. The actor was seen proudly showing off his permanently inked finger while casting his ballot at a specified voting place in a video released by ANI. Last year, Akshay obtained Indian citizenship. In an interview with reporters, he encouraged people to cast their ballots.
“India should elect those it believes to be right.”
“I want my India to be developed and strong,” Akshay stated in Hindi. With that in mind, I cast my ballot. India ought to cast its votes according to its morality. I predict that Mumbai will have a high voter turnout.” Upon being questioned about his first voting experience following his Indian citizenship, the actor said, “This is fantastic! I feel fantastic!
Last year, Akshay became a citizen of India.
Akshay had previously posted a photo of his official paperwork in August 2023, demonstrating that he had at last obtained Indian citizenship. “Dono Hindustani dil aur citizenship (Heart and citizenship, both Indian).” Cheers to Independence Day! “Jai Hind!” tweeted Akshay.
In 2023, he informed ANI about obtaining Indian citizenship, saying, “I didn’t go there for nine or ten years.” I have one of my closest friends there, and it’s a really lovely spot. I made the decision to apply for citizenship. The coincidence that on August 15th, I received a letter informing me of my citizenship was unintentional. However, being Indian is more than simply having a passport—it’s about your intellect, heart, and soul. If my spirit, intellect, and heart are not Indian, what good is having an Indian passport?
Regarding Canadian citizenship, Akshay Kumar
Following a string of more than a dozen box office failures, Akshay Kumar petitioned for Canadian citizenship in the 1990s. The actor gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2019, but because of the Covid-19 outbreak, the procedure took a while to finish.
“I became a Canadian because my films were not doing well at one point and I gave 13 to 14 flop films,” Akshay said in an interview with ANI. My friend, who was then living in Canada, told me to come over and we would work on something. My friend had proposed that we work together on shipping matters. I replied, “Well, things aren’t going well with my films either, and people have to work wherever they are.
“I got a Canadian passport when I moved to Toronto,” he said. There were still two films to be released in between. Following the release of the two films, it became a huge hit. I informed him that I was returning. I then received further videos and arrived here today. However, I never imagined that anybody might obtain it—it was only a travel document. I am the top taxpayer; all I do is pay my taxes.”

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
