Akhil Marar Relationships

During his college days, Akhil was in a relationship with one of the girls junior to him. Though she belonged to a different caste, Akhil ignored that factor and went ahead. During that time, he got a job with an American company.

Controversies

In July 2021, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Akhil lashed out at the administration by stating that the government is no doubt a bigger threat than the Coronavirus. He severely criticized the authorities for imposing strict restrictions even after the pandemic has subsided.

Towards the end, Akhil also mentioned that unless the poor raise their voice, they will die of poverty.

In the Bigg Boss house, Akhil once compared one of his co-contestants with Madhu, a tribal who became a victim of mob killing for stealing food. Later, actor Mohanlal, the host of the show said that it was highly disrespectful on Akhil’s part to make such a statement. In another instance, Akhil disclosed that he had beaten his wife and it stirred a controversy.
