In an interview to Indian Express, Akshay Kumar opened up about being subjected to racism, but he seems to have taken the taunts rather nonchalantly. The actor, who believes racists should’t be given any attention argued that while we’ve dealt with a lot of negative comments ourselves, it’s not like foreigners don’t have to face a different kind of racism when they visit India. Here are his comments –
Yes. It happens. But I don’t pay attention to it. Why should I? Goras also face it when they arrive here. You think it doesn’t happen with them? You feel we greet them with a smile and say we are so nice to you come give us a hug? Racism happens everywhere. Racism happens and it is bad. You get over it. Who cares? Don’t get serious. Why does it affect you? You should be strong enough and have the confidence to not let it affect you.
