Overview
- Akash Deep married Akshita Raj in Varanasi after multi-day traditional ceremonies in his native Baddi village, and videos from his tilak celebration dancing to Bhojpuri songs went viral.
- A wedding clip showed Akash joking that stars such as Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni were not invited because their presence would have made the event impossible to hold in Varanasi.
- The ceremony at a luxury hotel included close family, India pacer Mukesh Kumar, Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, and local guests.
- Akash has been sidelined by a lower-back stress injury sustained after the England tour, a setback that ruled him out of IPL 2026 and led to omission from recent Indian squads.
- The Bihar government has reportedly recommended him for a deputy superintendent of police post under the sports quota and Akash is focusing on rehabilitation to push for a return to the national team.
