A teacher told the 13-year-old boy from Mumbai, India that he was too fat and not allowed to take dance lessons. Although he was only four years old at the time, Singh used harsh words to motivate him to pursue his passion.
All that hard work paid off for Singh when he won the Golden Bell in the hit reality TV competition, Britain’s Got Talent. The journey of the teenager has not been easy. Getting to where he is today, Singh spent years waking up early to work on his swings and other dance moves.
In 2011, he started recording and sharing videos of his performance on the internet.
Singh’s first major TV appearance came in 2014 when he took the stage on ‘India’s Got Talent’ at just eight years old. While the audience enjoyed his impressive dance moves, it was his outrageous personality that really endeared him to everyone.
Asked about his motto, Akshat replied, “Be happy and make others happy.”
It didn’t take long for Singh to make a splash and was even featured on The Elaine Show. In 2017, Singh showcased his talents by appearing in ‘Little Big Shots Australia’.
If you’ve never had the chance to check out the talent and heart of this amazing performance, now is your chance.
