Career

After completing college and gaining a BE in Computer Science from the Global Academy of Technology, the 6 feet tall Akhila chose to venture into modelling and gained success participating in beauty pageants.[2][3] She received recognition, gaining awards at the Femina Miss India Bangalore 2013 competition. Akhila made her film debut with the 2013 Kannada film, Padhe Padhe, with a critic noting she was "good" for the role.[4] The actress was then asked to audition for a role in Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam by director R. Parthiepan, and was subsequently selected to work on the film alongside several other newcomers.[5] The film won positive reviews, as did Akhila for her performance, and she was subsequently signed on to work on the sequel.[6]

She subsequently signed on to appear in a role alongside Santhanam in Inimey Ippadithan, which released in June 2015.[7] Two of her Kannada films will also release in 2015, the long-delayed Kalabhairava and Boys.

She is currently pursuing Masters at San Jose State University.
