WATCH: Akshay Kumar walks out of interview when questioned about not voting in the Lok Sabha elections

Actor Akshay Kumar chose to ignore and walk away when he was questioned about not voting in the Lok Sabha elections. Akshay, who recently grabbed headlines for his "non-political" interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been widely trolled for not casting his vote on Monday. "Chaliye, chaliye (let's go, let's go)" is how Akshay responded when at a special screening of the film "Blank" on Tuesday, a mediaperson asked him about giving voting a miss. He then walked away.

The actor has established his image as Bollywood's posterboy of patriotism with films like "Kesari", "Toilet - Ek Prem Katha", "Padman" and "Airlift". The fact that he missed voting gave trolls a field day with jokes and memes. Akshay Kumar interviews PM- Twinkle Khanna reacts on Modi’s “mere oopar gussa nikaalti hain” Akshay was one of the prominent Bollywood celebrities whom Modi had tagged in a tweet, asking him to encourage voting. And the actor had duly complied. "The true hallmark of a democracy lies in people's participation in the electoral process. Voting has to be a superhit 'prem katha' between our nation and its voters," Akshay had tweeted.
