Akash Makhija plays the role of Alaukik Awasthi who believes in supernatural power and has an imaginative mind.

Talking about his role of Alaukik, Akash says, “When I was offered the role of Alaukik Awasthi, I was a bit perplexed. This was because of my entomophobia. While Alaukik is crazy for insects, Akash is entomophobia. I have always been so. But, as they say, you need to overcome your fears to succeed. Since I really wanted to do the show, I decided to let go of my fears. And then slowly, I stepped into the shoes of Alaukik, who is fascinated by insects, especially cockroaches. Funnily, you might even say that I have built a sort of a rapport with the cockroaches. I even named them Shanky, Johny etc”.

He further adds, “I believe that all living organisms have a heart and deserve to be loved, just like human beings. Over a couple of days, we became Sukh-dukh ke Saathi, in the true sense. Jokes apart, playing Alaukik has been a wonderful experience. Be it his love for insects, or his unconventional ideas, Alaukik is quite a character. And honestly, I thank God for this show as I was able to get over my fear, besides getting such a great role”.
