“Never applied for US citizenship despite my wife being American, I’m loyal to my country,” says Annu Kapoor

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 22 (ANI): Veteran actor Annu Kapoor calls himself a true “loyalist” when it comes to displaying his love for India.

In a recent interview with ANI, Annu Kapoor got emotional as the term “deshbhakti” came up in an open-hearted conversation, revealing he never applied for US citizenship despite being married to an American-born wife.

“My wife and my three three kids are American. They are not related to this country. I don’t impose (patriotism) on them. I have never applied for a green card or USA citizenship. I will die before taking another country’s passport. This country can throw me in a well or can shoot me or doesn’t give me anything but I am compelled. I am loyal to my country,” teary-eyed Annu Kapoor said.

Annu Kapoor has been happily married to Anupama Patel.
