Actor Akshay Anand is basking in the glory of his debut music video, “Ek Tu Hi Hai,” directed by Nishank Swami, which has recently crossed an impressive 10 million views on YouTube. Filled with immense gratitude, Akshay expresses his heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming response to the song.
The actor, who hails from a business background, discovered his passion for acting in his late teens. “I come from a business family, and my father started from scratch. However, I realized my calling was in acting when I was in my late teens. I pursued a degree in Bachelor of Mass Communication (BMM) and even dreamt of becoming an international cricketer. Unfortunately, an injury forced me to shift my focus,” Akshay shares.
Inspired by the performance of Ranbir Kapoor in the movie “Rockstar,” Akshay decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. “After watching ‘Rockstar’ at the age of 17, I was mesmerized by Ranbir Kapoor’s performance, and that’s when I knew I wanted to be a part of this business. Now, I’m on my way, and there’s no looking back,” he adds.
Akshay fondly recalls his journey of entering the industry, mentioning that he arrived in Mumbai, the city of dreams, on July 11th, 2015. Interestingly, his debut song “Ek Tu Hi Hai” was released on July 11th, 2023, marking a significant full-circle moment in his career. “It’s been a long journey of dedication and hard work, but it’s all been worth it,” he says with pride.
Collaborating with director Nishank Swami for “Ek Tu Hi Hai” has been a rewarding experience for Akshay. He admires Nishank’s visionary approach and expresses his gratitude for believing in him for the role. “He’s the best; his vision is unmatched. I thank him every day for giving me this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to working with him on future projects,” Akshay reveals.
