In an old interview, the 51-year-old star is seen talking about the immense love his movies receive from Pakistan has sent Twitter into frenzy.
Akshay said, "Pakistan mein meri filmein sabse zyada business karti hai. Jitna pyar mujhe wahan se milta hai, shayad hi kahin se milta hai (My films do the best business in Pakistan. The amount of love I get from the country, I hardly get that kind of love from anywhere else)."

While some people on social media are attacking the PadMan actor for comments on Pakistan and his Pakistani fans, others are supporting the actor.
While the account that first shared the video has been suspended by Twitter, other Twitter users have shared the interview on their respective accounts, along with their own two bits to it.
Canadian actor Akshay Kumar says he gets so much love from Pakistan which cannot be compared to anywhere.

kai baar bola hai sabhi Khans ne ye baat and what Akshay said wasnt wrong. Indians respect and like many Pakistani artists and vice versa. Just don’t unnecessarily create a controversy. even Pakistani artists have repeatedly said they get huge love from India.
