Akanksha Sharma (14 April 1996[1]) is an Indian actress and model who has appeared in Hindi, Kannada and Telugu-language films, and music videos.[2][3] She is primarily known for her roles in Keshari Veer, Laila and Trivikrama.[4][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Sharma began working in the entertainment industry through modeling assignments. She participated in India's next top model Season 2 , which aired in 2016. In 2018, she appeared in the music video Do Din, performed by Darshan Raval.[7] She was later featured in I Am Disco Dancer 2.0 (2020), a recreation of a 1980s Hindi film song, performed by Benny Dayal.[8]

In 2021, she appeared in the music video Jugnu, performed by Badshah and Nikhita Gandhi.[9] In the same year, she featured in the video Casanova, performed by Tiger Shroff.[10] In 2023, she appeared in the Punjabi-language music video Psycho, performed by Harrdy Sandhu.[11]

Sharma made her film debut in the Kannada-language feature Trivikrama in 2022,[12] where she played the character of Trisha, an acting debut that the New Indian Express found "formulaic". [13]

She appeared in two films in 2025: Laila (Telugu film),[14] in the role of Jenny; a review in the Times of India noted: "Akanksha Sharma, as Jenny, is bold and glamorous, making a striking impression. While her role doesn’t offer much beyond supporting Sonu’s [the male lead] journey, her energy adds some spark to the film."[15] A review in The Hindu noted that "the camera waste(d) no opportunity to objectify her."[16]

The same year she played in Kesari Veer (a Hindi film), portraying the character of Rajal, and a review in The Hans said of her that she had "a luminous screen presence but [...] a long way to go."[17]
