EXCL! Akshun Mahajan On Makar Sankranti, Career Turning Points, & Memories: ‘Those Moments Were Magic’

Makar Sankranti Exclusive: Actor Akshun Mahajan, who has steadily carved his space in the entertainment industry, is embracing the festive spirit of Makar Sankranti 2026 with gratitude and reflection. From his early-on journey as an assistant director with yrf to making a mark on screen as an actor, Akshun's journey has been one of patience and perseverance. He was last seen in Colors TV's Mannpasand Ki Shaadi produced by Rajshri Productions and is now gearing up for the release of a new music video, while fans eagerly wait for his next project.

Speaking about the festival and its deeper meaning, Akshun shares how Makar Sankranti resonates strongly with him. "Makar Sankranti is super special for me, especially being from Punjab," he says. The festival, which symbolises a move toward brighter days, also reminds him of an important phase in his professional life. "Career-wise, getting my first break was a turning point. It set the path for everything that followed eventually," Akshun adds, highlighting how that one opportunity shaped his journey ahead.

When it comes to festive memories, Akshun's thoughts instantly travel back to his carefree childhood days. Kite flying remains close to his heart. "Childhood memory would be kite-flying, of course," he recalls with a smile. The celebrations did not end there. Afternoons were reserved for comfort food and endless fun. "I would munch on rajma chawal, run around with my friends, climb terraces, and do what we later realised was parkour," he shares.

Those terrace-hopping adventures, innocent mischief, and laughter-filled days still hold a special place in his heart. "We didn't know it was called parkour back then, but those carefree moments were pure magic. That's what childhood is, and that's what I cherish the most," Akshun says.

As he celebrates Makar Sankranti 2026, Akshun Mahajan continues to look ahead with positivity, much like the festival itself, ready for new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and brighter days in his career.
