Canadian actor Praneet Akilla, known for his role in the upcoming drama Skymed, was born in the early 90s in Mumbai.
Sadly, he did not stay in the sub-continent for long as his parents flew off to Calgary to lead a better life.
But his passion for the cinema remained constant as he dreamed of being a part of show business.
As a kid, he was not one of the cool ones as he kept his talents to himself, practicing in front of the bathroom, awaiting the right moment to unleash his inner self.
His lack of confidence remained an annoying hindrance in the way of his dreams. His teachers pushed him to be better as they convinced him to go on stage to perform.
Ultimately, they were successful in their pursuits as he came out of his shell and thanked them at every turn of his life.
