Aman, born in Mundi, a small town in Madhya Pradesh in a middle class family is now a Bollywood sensation. He has always been interested in studies and scored very good marks in 10th and 12th. He then pursued M.Tech in Bioinformatics from Amity University, Lucknow. Along with studies, literature and poetry were always his areas of interest. He also started writing in his college days. What started as a hobby soon became his passion. He started to learn more about the Indian culture and heritage in the city of Lucknow. The culturally rich city of Lucknow motivated him to write more and perform more. He credits a large part of what he is today to the city. After college, he got placed in a company but left it to continue writing and performing and follow his passion. He got unconditional support from his family when he took this decision, for which he will forever be grateful.
After staying for 5 years in Lucknow, he came back to Indore. There, after several hit performances, he performed in an event called ‘Geet Mahotsav’, one of the most famous poetry events of Indore. Formally Aman Dalal, he was given the name Akshar by none other than Kumar Vishwas when he saw his breathtaking performance in ‘Geet Mahotsav’.
