Akash Deep married Akshita Raj in a traditional ceremony at the Taj Ganges hotel in Varanasi on June 24. The event, documented on social media by Akash, highlighted his gratitude for a quiet, family-focused celebration.
Observant fans noticed the absence of cricket icons Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni from the guest list. A circulated video on X showed Akash humorously explaining that inviting these figures would have logistically complicated the event in Varanasi.
Question to Akshdeep: Why didn’t you call Dhoni or Kohli bhaiya to your marriage?

The right-arm pacer’s decision stemmed from practicality. Wrestling with security and venue logistics for a high-profile guest list clashed with his desire for intimacy. The reception included Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, emphasizing its grounded nature.
Akash’s recent injury, sidelining him since early 2026 with back stress, adds context to his low-key approach. Despite missing the IPL 2026 season during rehabilitation, his career remains promising, with potential returns in upcoming international matches.
