<br />
==Early life==<br />
Akshay was born and brought up in [[New Delhi]] with his younger sister, fellow actress [[Ridhi Dogra]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-06-16/delhi/28319679_1_music-mania-smoke-house-grill-amit-and-dj-cheenu | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707011056/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-06-16/delhi/28319679_1_music-mania-smoke-house-grill-amit-and-dj-cheenu | url-status=dead | archive-date=7 July 2012 | newspaper=[[The Times of India]] | title=Music mania at Smoke House Grill | date=16 June 2010}}</ref> Akshay was 21 before he decided to enter the entertainment business.<br />
<br />
==Beginning of career==<br />
At age 21, Akshay decided to move to [[Mumbai]], [[Maharashtra]] to pursue a career in the entertainment business. Starting in 2002, Akshay started working behind the scenes as Executive producer as well as a member of the Creative Unit of many shows. For a while after moving to Mumbai, Akshay worked as an assistant to Deepak Tijori. He eventually moved on to acting.<ref name=toi2008/><br />
<br />
==Breakthrough==<br />
After transitioning from behind the camera to acting, Akshay landed a role in [[Zee TV]]'s ''[[12/24 Karol Bagh]]''. He also acted in ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'' (2008) on [[Bindass]], alongside [[Shweta Gulati]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2008/06/06/stories/2008060650160400.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611052034/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2008/06/06/stories/2008060650160400.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=11 June 2008 | title=East meets West | newspaper=[[The Hindu]] | date=6 June 2008}}</ref> He played the role of Vishal from 2009 to 2010. His character was of a [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] boy who becomes engaged to Milli (Hunar Halli). Although he was not a lead and this show didn't make him a household name, it did earn him enough success to help him land his next role. He, after his role on ''12/24 Karol Bagh'' ended, landed the role of Akash Singh Raizada in the very popular Hindi Daily Soap Opera ''[[Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?]]'' on STAR Plus. His character is the cousin of the male lead Arnav ([[Barun Sobti]]), who also falls in love and marries the sister, Payal ([[Deepali Pansare]]) of the female lead Khushi ([[Sanaya Irani]]). His role on this show has made him much more popular and has opened up many new pathways for him.<br />
<br />
In 2011, he also acted in stage play, ''Apples and Walnut'', about valley of [[Kashmir]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Troy Ribeiro’s latest play is a tale from Kashmir|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report_troy-ribeiros-latest-play-is-a-tale-from-kashmir_1544216 |newspaper=[[DNA India]] |date=17 May 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, in October 2012, he quit the show due to lack of importance given to his character.<br />
<br />
