India’s election season is in full swing and today, polling for the third phase has begun. The current Lok Sabha elections are very crucial as India is going through a very delicate phase. This election, we have seen many filmstars either campaigning or contesting the polls and it includes the likes of Urmila Matondkar, Hema Malini, Jaya Prada and others. Now, there were speculations going on regarding Akshay Kumar joining Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and fighting polls.

The actor said that he is getting into “unknown and uncharted territory” with something he has not done before, sparking furious speculation on social media that he is about to plunge into politics.

Akshay followed up his first tweet with another tweet several hours later, saying that he is not contesting elections. But that did little to quell the speculation in this election season.

But, later on, the Khiladi Kumar put all the speculations to rest and said that he is not contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Akshay Kumar is known to be close to the BJP and in recent times, he has done many films which have tried to propagate the government’s schemes. Though, the great irony is that the ‘Housefull’ actor is a Canadian citizen and would not be able to vote during the polls.

On the work front, Akshay Kumar was last seen in Anurag Singh’s ‘Kesari’. Stay tuned to Bollywood Bubble for all the latest news and updates.
