Notably, Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh was among the attendees. Akshita hails from Manikpur in Dehri.

This marriage is taking place with the blessings and approval of the family."

Akash Deep's Cricketing Journey

The 29-year-old cricketer made his international debut during a Test match against England in Ranchi in 2024, where he made an immediate impact by dismissing the top three English batters—Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Zak Crawley—within the first ten runs. His last international appearance was during the tour of England last year. Although he was set to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2026 Indian Premier League, a back injury unfortunately sidelined him from the tournament.
