6 Interesting Facts You Didn't Know About Akash Dadlani, The Entertaining Rapper Of Bigg Boss 11

Remember Ali Quli Mirza, the Dubai-based singer who was a part of Bigg Boss season 8? He was one of the most hilarious contestants who would make us laugh with his crazy antics. His notorious acts would automatically draw viewers' attention towards him, and his silly songs were even more entertaining. He was called the joker of the house, and rightly so.

This season, we have a similar personality, only more crazy than Ali Quli—Akash Dadlani AKA Dadlani Khandaan Ka Chirag, as Salman Khan calls him.

He is indeed a joker. I mean, who apart from him during the nomination process can think of asking Bigg Boss if he can think for an hour before taking a decision? He is not only a source of entertainment for the audiences, but also a goofball for the housemates.We already know that he is a distant relative of music-composer and singer Vishal Dadlani, and not a close one, as he had claimed. So distant that Vishal said that he ignored his calls and messages when he wanted to seek work from him.

But apart from this, we don’t know much about the man, who is turning out to be one of the most entertaining contestant on the show, right? And so, here’s some enlightenment for you, some interesting facts that you probably want to know about Akash Dadlani.

1. He was born in India but has spent most of his life in the USA.

He did his schooling from Ronald Reagan High School, and later enrolled in Albemarle High School of North Carolina. He dropped out of his college, and since then, he has been living in Mumbai.

2. Akash was thrown out of college.

If you though that he is playing a funny character to entertain people and audiences in Bigg Boss, you are probably wrong, because he has been a piece of gossip since his college days. In fact, he was thrown out of college for being in high-spirits.

“Akash studied for a few months in a notable South Mumbai college located near Churchgate Station. He was part of a student exchange programme and had come for a few months. The college is closely associated with the Sindhi community. However, he was told to go back to the US after he turned up inebriated at a inter-college event. The authorities were furious and he was told to leave. Even in college, he was the Yo-Yo type and used to tell everyone how much he loved India. He had a fascination for everything desi,” a source told Bollywoodlife.com.

3. He rapped for Chittiyan Kalaiyan!

He has worked with Baby Doll fame music composer duo Meet Brothers, he claims. It is said that the rap section in the popular Jacqueline starrer song Chittiyan Kalaiyan was done by him.

4. He is state level champion in Tennis.

He won the title of Tennis State Level Championship in Texas, reportedly, in 2009, when he was 16-years-old.

5. At the age of 24, he realised he wanted to be a rapper.

And the rest is history!

He was a sportsperson, but when he turned 24, he opted rapping as his profession. Since then, he has been trying to make a mark as a rapper. Probably, he should take some lessons from Dhinchak Pooja. After all, she is just 23 and immensely popular in the same genre.
