This Zee TV actor is a certified commercial PILOT in real life!

Talented model-turned-actor Nikhil Sabharwal who has floored everyone with his striking good looks, acting skills and chiseled physique has one more hidden talent. 

Currently seen playing the role of Akshay, an army man in Zee TV's romantic dramedy Bin Kuch Kahe, Nikhil is a certified commercial pilot in real life. 

Nikhil has clearly come a long way in his life from being a pilot to a sought-after TV heartthrob. Before the acting bug took over, he used to fly for Cessna Aircrafts in the Philippines. But his passion for facing the camera led the handsome hunk modelling assignments, a career on television and a role as Akshay Sharma in Bin Kuch Kahe.

Nikhil shares, "I learned how to fly aircrafts in Manila in Philippines at my flying school called Ace Pilots Aviation Academy. After getting an engineering degree, I trained in aviation for 8 months in 2007. I flew as a trainee with Cessna Aircrafts and flew a ten seater charter aircraft called BN2A-21, Islander. 

I came back to India and converted my license as the recession had begun to kick in. Since I had started modelling after my school and all through my engineering years, I decided taking that up that once I came back from Philippines. I shot for several TVC's and eventually, that led to a film and a show within a year. I guess acting was my calling all along!!"

In the upcoming episodes of Bin Kuch Kahe, the date of Myra and Akshay's marriage gets finalized in the Kohli house. On the other hand, Kabir promises Myra that he will get married to her. Who will Myra tie the knot with? Kabir or Akshay?
