The tickets were booked, I had even applied for leaves and my girlfriend had even bought her wedding lehnga and prepared the sangeet dance performance, but then due to the second wave of Covid 19 and nationwide crisis, we had to postpone the ceremony for some time.

He added, “It was extremely disheartening to see the situation of our country getting worse in this pandemic and we did not want to add to the ongoing trouble. We hope and pray for the safety of people of our nation and hope that we fight this situation and overcome these times of crisis.” Talking about his love life, Akshay revealed details about his girlfriend and how they fell in love, "We met during a project for the Art of Living during our college days. I was into direction in my earlier days and was directing a video and she was in it with her friends. We both met and when we saw each other there was a spark in our eyes as we both liked each other. One day I saw her in saree and that day I felt she is the one for me. Gradually, we became good friends, we had a long distance relationship, many times I would visit Pune and sometimes she used to come to Dehradun. And with time, we realised we love each other immensely. With the grace of God after sometime, I shifted to Mumbai. I surprised her on her birthday and proposed her for marriage. She said Yes. So far God has been really kind and we are so blessed to have each other by our side. I am always filled with gratitude for what God has given me." Divya is a doctor by profession.
