said: "I am honoured and privileged to have been selected as an official torchbearer
for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay." "Running with the Olympic Flame in
Toronto gives me an exceptional opportunity to represent India and all of my fans.
The flame is a symbol of freedom, peace and global friendship, and I would like
to thank Canada for this honour and recognition," Akshay Kumar added. Akshay calls
Canada his home away from home. He supports various Canadian charities, including
the Trillium Health Centre in Toronto. "Akshay Kumar is a global star, a citizen
