Bollywood’s Hit Machine, Akshay Kumar has added another feather to his glowing hat. The Rowdy Rathore star has become the highest taxpayer of 2022 from the entertainment industry. Yes, you read that right! Notably, the Income Tax department has given 'samaan patra' to Kumar for retaining the title of 'highest taxpayer' for the past five years. A photo of the honorary certificate of Akshay has gone viral on social media with mixed reactions pouring in from netizens.
While many users congratulated the actor, a few others took a nasty dig at Akshay. Reacting to the news, one user commented, “Desh me bane rahne ke liye kuch to karna padega warna canada ka ticket kat jayega.” His remark reminds people of the time when the 54-year-old actor applied for his Canadian citizenship. Another said, “RIP for Indian companies who pays more tax than Akashy kumar whole carrier.” One comment read, “Itna paisa aata kahan se hai bhai.” ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 7: Akshay Kumar Recalls Getting TROLLED For Applying Canadian Citizenship, Says, ‘Canada Kumar Okay, Call Me That’
Well, it’s been five years since Akshay has retained his title of 'highest taxpayer'. To note, he is the most sought actor and bankable actor in Bollywood. Kumar is the only celeb who has more than four to five releases in a year. For the coming years, Akshay has his hands full with many exciting projects including, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Selfiee’ with Emraan Hashmi, Abhishek Sharma’s directorial ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miya’, ‘Gorkha’, and ‘Oh My God 2.’ He was recently seen in the historical action drama 'Samrat Prithviraj' which failed to perform at the box office.
Akshay recently made headlines after he appeared on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan Season 7 with South beauty Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
