‘I Want to Buy a House and Earn a Lot of Money’: Raakh Star Akash Makhija opens up on marriage, Dreams and life after fame

Actor Akash Makhija is currently enjoying one of the most significant phases of his life both personally and professionally. Following the success of the crime thriller Raakh, where he earned widespread appreciation for his performance as Babu, the actor is now looking ahead with bigger dreams and fresh responsibilities.

In a recent conversation, Akash Makhija opened up about how life has changed after receiving recognition and building a distinct identity in the entertainment world.

The actor revealed that he recently entered a new chapter in his personal life, sharing that he got married just two months ago.

Calling it the beginning of a “new life,” Akash said his priorities have evolved, with health, stability, and family becoming more important than ever.

But beyond fame, his dreams remain surprisingly grounded.

The actor shared that like any ordinary person, he wants to build a secure future starting with buying a house and shifting closer to the heart of the entertainment industry. According to him, financial growth has become an important goal, especially now that he has more responsibilities.

Akash admitted that he wants to earn well, but not at the cost of compromising on the kind of work he does. For him, acting is more than a profession it’s his art.

He explained that if money had been his only focus, he might have chosen a different career path altogether. Instead, he wants to continue pursuing meaningful roles while also building financial stability.

In his own words, he wants to “live with his art” while also earning enough to fulfil his dreams.

The actor also spoke about the filmmakers he hopes to collaborate with in the future. Among his dream directors are Vikramaditya Motwane and Imtiaz Ali, both of whom he deeply admires for their storytelling style.

For Akash Makhija, this moment of success feels especially meaningful after spending nearly 14 years navigating the unpredictable world of auditions, rejections, and industry struggles.

His breakthrough as Babu in Raakh, starring Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre, has finally brought him the recognition he had been working toward for over a decade.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Raakh has emerged as a strong performer on the OTT platform, with audiences and critics alike praising its performances.

For Akash, however, this seems to be just the beginning a journey where art, ambition, and everyday dreams are now moving hand in hand.
