Biography

Akshay was born on 18 September 1980 in India and immigrated to the United States when he was 6 months old. He spent his childhood and teens in Pittsgrove, New Jersey and trained as a theatre actor having appeared in some Broadway plays.[2] He has since tried his luck in Bollywood.

He made his Bollywood film debut with the teen romantic comedy, Popcorn Khao! Mast Ho Jao which was released in 2004. In 2006, he starred in his second Bollywood film, Alag, a remake of the American film Powder. In it, he played the role of a man with extraordinary supernatural powers and with no hair on his entire body. Although, both of the films failed at the box office, he got good reviews for his performances in both films.[3][4]

He has also appeared in a Short film called A Beautiful Mind... of a Gladiator which is a spoof of the Oscar-winning films A Beautiful Mind and Gladiator. In 2009, he played a small role in Kal Kissne Dekha and played the lead in the thriller, Three and the dance film, Fast Forward.

gollark: Or equal to the difference between the correct number and what you said.
gollark: I'm not entirely sure to be honest.
gollark: As I said, the text in <#471334670483849216> about cultists was there before IIRC.
gollark: It said "cultists not allowed" (but that wasn't actually functional for ages) waaay before the cult wars if I remember right.
gollark: I was browsing another Discord server and I noticed an interesting bot thing where you can say `!portal [channel]`, and it posts something like the image there in the channel you specify (the link there is a link to the command so you can easily go back to it), and a link to the *new* message in the original channel. If organizing stuff into channels is much of a concern here this could be good to implement.(also, please remove the cultist ban in <#471334670483849216> as it does not seem to actually serve any useful purpose)
