Fun fact

The Canadian citizenship he held for over a decade was granted by invoking an obscure law that let him skip the residency requirement entirely — he reportedly never lived in the country for any meaningful stretch.

The verdict

Delhi-born and India-based his entire life and career; held Canadian citizenship from 2011 to 2023 under a special federal exemption that skipped the usual residency requirement, then renounced it the moment Indian law required a choice. No residency, no Canadian work, no lineage — the citizenship existed only on paper, and even that's gone now. Zero. Hasn't even been, bud.
