In the same breath, the actor also thanked his home country adding that he owes everything to India. During the interview, Kumar once again asserted that he has started the process of denouncing his Canadian citizenship and taking up Indian citizenship, further adding, “Mere liye bharat hi sab kuchh hai. Maine jo kuchh kamaya hai, jo kuchh hai, yahin se liya hai. Aur yeh mera saubhagya hai ki mujhe mauka milta yeh sab kuch karne ke liye. Bas yeh hai ki bura lagta hai jab log bina jaane kuch keh dete hain (For me, India is everything. Whatever I have earned, whatever I have, everything is from here. Fortunately, I have received so many opportunities to do this kind of work in the country. It’s just that I am often hurt by the things people say about me).”
