While Britannica (as sourced in the article) does say he was born in Amritsar. In this (3:35) interview with Rajya Sabha TV he himself says that he was born in Delhi. Also the same is stated in the Twitter post as rightly pointed out by @Sahilgng in the edit request above.

In cases such as these (for basic facts of birthplace, date etc.) official records (as included in the Twitter post) and WP:SPS statements from the subject themselves (as in the interview) are preferable over tertiary sources like Britannica.

@Fylindfotberserk, Rejoy2003, and Krimuk2.0: I think the changes requested in the edit request in light of these sources should be made. Any further comments would be appreciated. Gotitbro (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Twitter post seals the deal. I have no issues with changing Kumar's birthplace, to be honest I didn't even notice the difference in the article. Like you've said about tertiary sources, I agree on that note. Rejoy²⁰⁰³(talk) 17:10, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change it to Delhi (Old Delhi in brackets if necessary), we have enough sources. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have made the appropriate changes per the discussion here (though notified the Britannica data as well). Gotitbro (talk) 15:58, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please if someone can change Akhsay's infobox photo, to this 2017 one:

Current one also seems nice and promising, but I am leaning towards adding more recent one 202.59.12.137 (talk) 06:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
