Bringing Religion Into Politics Is Not Done: Akshay

Akshay Kumar was speaking at the trailer launch of Nanak Shah Fakir. When asked if he thinks the teachings of Guru Nanak should be adopted by all politicians who try to use religion to create vote bank politics, he told reporters, “I believe in it thoroughly. There is only one God and that God is yours. To bring religion into everything…it is not done. I hope everyone follows that.”

On whether he thinks that Bollywood was the most secular industry, he said, “Yes.” he said he had been associated with “Nanak Shah Fakir” since over a year as he believed in the message of the film that there is only one God. “This is such a film that I saw one-and-half years ago, this is the only film I saw twice on the same day once with my mother and the other time I saw it alone. It is a beautiful film with a beautiful belief,” he added.
