He also defended Akshay over the criticism over his Canadian citizenship and termed the detractors as ‘low lives.’ Paresh Rawal said Akshay ‘pays taxes honestly’ and does ‘charity passionately’ with no ‘ulterior motives’ or political ambitions, or with an intention to receive Ambassadorship or favours from the Government.

Here are the posts:

For his Andaz Apna Apna co-star Salman, Paresh Rawal tweeted that he doffs his hat to the Ek Tha Tiger star’s ‘lion hearted gesture.’

Apart from Paresh Rawal, many netizens had also similarly lashed out at Akshay’s critics over his Canadian citizenship. Some had written that they’d prefer a Canadian who helps in times of crisis, rather than an Indian who brings shame to the country.

Salman was also praised by many celebrities and his loyal fan following for his ‘Bhai’-like gesture.
