Profession
Akash Singh has loved dancing since he was a child. While practicing dance as a student, he became interested in a particular dance form called acrobatic dance, which combines classical dance techniques with precise acrobatic elements. Coming from a village, the dancer did not have the necessary facilities to practice his dance, so he started practicing on the trees in the village. Talking about his first days, he said:
I started my aerial show in my village. Aerial performances require altitude, which is not possible everywhere. So, in my village, I used to hang a piece of cloth on a tree to practice. “
Akash Singh moved to Mumbai from Bihar in 2018 to pursue a career in aerial dancing. He went there with only two thousand five hundred rupees. To continue practicing dance, he started practicing on a tree near Bombay Beach. Later, he began participating in dance performances and award events as a backup dancer. In 2022, Akash participated in Colors TV’s Hindi reality TV show “Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan”, judged by Mithun Chakraborty, Parineeti Chopra and Karan Johar, and was selected for his talent. During the introductory segment, he told the judges about his struggles and listened to actress Parineeti Chopra, who became emotional and promised him to help in any way possible. Through a voting panel, the live studio audience determines whether the contenders in each show advance to the next round. At first, he was nervous about performing in front of such a famous star, but the judges put him at ease and he gave them his best performance. As he spoke, he narrated,
The experience at Hunarbaaz was really great. I was scared when I went on the show and didn’t know anyone, but now everyone on the show has become like a family, all the judges and contestants. I’m going to miss it all. “

After winning his first talent show, Akash said:
I never thought I would win this competition or be one of the finalists. I am happy to win as my dream of coming to Mumbai has come true. I’m happy and so is my family. I can’t find words to express the emotions I’m going through, it all feels so surreal! I started my show journey with a dream and after winning the show today I feel like I have achieved every bit of it. The judges were very supportive. They always encourage me. It means a lot to me to perform in front of them. Parineeti ji made me her brother, showered me with lots of love, gifted me a jacket, shoes and a rakhi. I will really miss them. “
Hunarbaaz expressed his special thanks to the judges of the show, saying:
I would like to thank Mr. Karan, Mr. Mithun and Ms. Parineeti for guiding me throughout the show and COLORS for giving me this golden opportunity. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me on this life-changing journey. “
