Alia Bhatt is not only one of the best actors in Bollywood right now; she is also one of India’s most popular actors. However, the actress who stars in two of the year’s most anticipated blockbusters is not Indian (going by her official documents). Soni Razdan, Alia’s mother, was born in Birmingham, England to Gertrude Hoelzer, a German, and Narendra Nath Razdan, a Kashmiri Pandit. Alia Bhatt, like her mother, is a British citizen with a British passport.
Akshay Kumar
Everything about the action hero who became a national hero Akshay Kumar exudes patriotism. But, in case you didn’t know, Akshay Kumar became a Canadian citizen when he accepted Canada’s honorary citizenship. And, because the Indian constitution forbids dual citizenship, Kumar had to give up his Indian citizenship, despite the fact that he claims to be a dual citizen of both India and Canada.
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif has been in Bollywood for nearly a decade, but one of the highest-paid actors still resides in India on an employment visa. Katrina Kaif was born in Hong Kong but possesses a British passport.
