Accepting the torch, Akshay - who will run with the Olympic Torch in Toronto Dec 17 - said that his heart is close to Canada, which he has visited several times.

"I am happy to be chosen as one of the 14 international bearers of the Olympic Torch, " Akshay said at the brief event held in Hotel Trident-Oberoi.
