Apart from being a celebrity who is always up for a cause, Akshay is also known for voicing his thoughts with clarity. The controversy around his National Award has still not died down completely. At the event, when the media asked him to share his opinion on it, Akshay yet again spoke his heart out. He said, "I've been hearing since 25 years, whenever someone wins there is some discussion around it. Someone or the other person always creates a controversy. 'He shouldn't have won, the other person should have.' It's okay. I've won this after 26 years, agar woh bhi aapka mann kare toh le lo."

Just as we said, in clear words, Akshay Kumar said that he is absolutely fine to return the award if people are not convinced that he deserves the honour.

Furthermore the actor, who has been highly praised for his patriotic roles in films like Baby, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, Airlift, Rustom, was asked to comment about the ongoing heated topic of Kulbhushan Jadhav's death penalty in Pakistan. However, Akshay refused to comment on it and said, “Can we talk about that later, this is about stuntmen. Let’s not take away the glory from them."
