Later, he studied science stream in class 11 and 12 and enrolled in MBGT tuition classes, where he met Ashish Chanchlani. One day, Ashish and his friend Karan were sitting in the tuition class arguing over Akshay Kumar’s way of laughing, while Akash, a film buff, was sitting on the bench behind them. While Karan said that it was Akshay Kumar’s real style, Ashish said that he was copying the laugh of an old Bollywood actor. Amidst the heated argument, Akash said that Akshay Kumar imitates the laughter of veteran actor Pran and Jeevan. Akash’s knowledge about Bollywood impressed Ashish and soon they became friends. Then, Akash joined Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Mumbai, while Ashish joined Datta Meghe College of Engineering, Navi Mumbai.
