of Yo Yo Honey Singh who chose her to be amongst the top 10 of reality show
Indias Rawstar. However, since due to prior commitments and gigs, Akasa
couldn't enter the show, she later entered the famous reality show INDIAS
RAWSTAR as wild card, where in she challenged 7 boys being the only girl. She
won many hearts with her versatile performances- rapping, dancing, singing and
making the viewers groove with her. She is one of the Top 5 artistes of RAWSTAR
and the only girl. Her then Mentor on the show Himesh Reshammiya
was mighty impressed with her and promised her a movie song on national
television.
True to his promise, post RAWSTAR, he gave Akasa her first
Bollywood break with Tu Kheech Meri Photo in the movie Sanam Teri Kasam. The
song went on to become the selfie anthem of the year and caught public interest
aplenty. Akasa's fresh voice has garnered a lot of attention of music

Sachin-Jigar, etc. Akasa's YouTube covers of songs like Judaai and Jugni
