Akash and his mother, Sunita Dadlani, came back to India six years back. His mother wanted to him complete his studies first and then take up any career. After coming from the US, Akash joined Jai Hind College (Mumbai) for a year but he dropped out as he was not interested in studies.
Akash always wanted to become a musician. In fact, he always dreamt of becoming a hip-hop sensation. And so, he joined popular composer duo Meet Brothers to learn music. He spent almost three years with Meet Brothers. After 3 years, he was introduced to Sanjay Shah (the owner of Apple Entertainment) by a common friend. Sanjay then introduced him to renowned singer Sukhwinder Singh.
He has almost done 45-50 shows with Sukhwinder; nationally as well as internationally.
Akash's mother raised him and her elder daughter Divya Dadlani as a single parent. The BB contestant lost his father, Anil Dadlani when he was just 2 years old.
Akash has been mischievous and naughty throughout his childhood days.In his teenage days, he loved to party a lot with his friends. Every second day, he used to party with his friends in the US.
The reason for coming back to India: Akash mother had a tough time surviving in the US. On the other hand, Akash was also not interested in studies. Adding more to it, Akash’s elder sister, Divya Dadlani Mamdani got married at a very early age. She is married for 6 years now. Divya still stays in the US with her husband.
Initially, Sunita wasn’t sure whether Akash will be able to survive in Mumbai or not. But now she is happy with her decision. In 2011, Akash was 18 when he shifted to India.
Meanwhile, A'kash' is driving the world crazy with his antics on the BB show.
