Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with his impeccable comic timings and daredevil action sequences. He is one of the most-loved actors, who has experienced a lot of ups and downs in his career.

Now, in a recent interview he opened up about the same and revealed how his life changed after 2 of his movies became super hit after giving back-to-back 14 flops.
During an interview with a media publication he recently shed light on how he ended up with a Canadian passport. Blaming his back-to-back 14 flops, years ago, he was convinced that he would never be successful in the Hindi entertainment industry. This led to him deciding to move to Canada to work on something. Quoted by Bollywood Life, he recalled, “I became a Canadian because my films were not doing well at one time and I gave 13 to 14 flop films. At that time, my friend used to live in Canada and he said you come here and we will work on something. My friend had offered me that we would do cargo business together. I said okay my films are also not going well and a person has to work, no matter where he is.” ALSO READ: Akshay Kumar Returns As An Ambassador Of A Tobacco Brand?
