Akshita Trikha
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
- Script and Continuity Department
Joining the film industry was destiny. Akshita thought she wanted to be in the marketing field and she was
studying for it. She completed her graduation in marketing and her post graduation in communications
while she studied for MBA entrances. She later secured an admission in NMIMS for MBA in marketing. Just
after the first semester in the winter break, she visited her father, Mr.Asshu Trikha who is also a film
director, shooting his then film. Growing up in the industry, she was always exposed to many aspects of film making & was familiar with almost all of it at a very young age in her life.. Akshita was an avid movie watcher and a complete SRK fan but visiting the sets after so long, learning how everything works around, she felt that she belonged here more than ever. It was that instant where she knew she wanted to assist him in the next film and that's what she did. She left her course mid way to pursue Direction & started assisting her father in films, ad films, music videos. Assisting her father came with its own advantages, she learned about the process of direction quicker, she was taught to handle various responsibilities and aspects of film making, right from pre-production to post production all at once. She started getting recognition & also received a lot of offers to be in front of the camera instead of behind it. She Even tried modelling for advertisements and some brands, but enjoyed the whole process of direction more than anything and so she continued assisting with an aspiration to eventually become a Director.
