Translating her words, Akshara said, "I'm a high school dropout. Some people just can't study. I'm one of them. I don't find any problem with it. I failed in Class 10. I tried again and failed again. At that time, I felt ashamed. I thought I was stupid".
"My mother told me that some people can study, and some can't. She asked to me find something that suits me and not to just sit idle. I told my father that I tried to study but couldn't. I told him I wouldn't sit idle. Then he asked what I am going to do. He also asked how I could go to college without finishing school. I found there was a dance course at a university in Singapore. I didn't have to finish school to get admission there. I only had to pass their exam. Then I worked hard and finally got trained and got A+ grade", Akshara added.
Like her sister Shruti Haasan, Akshara also started her career in cinema. Later, she also excelled as a choreographer and assistant director in cinema.
