Mumbai, March 27 (IANS) Actor Akshay Oberoi, who is known for his work in ‘Gurgaon’, ‘Inside Edge’ and OTT show ‘Dil Bekaraar’, celebrated the World Theatre Day on Monday.
The actor took to Instagram to be thankful for this day as he shared a set of two throwback images which date almost 20 years old.

Talking about the same, Akshay said: “I had my first taste of theatre while I was doing bachelors at Johns Hopkins University. It’s the place where I learnt the basics of acting or production. The theatre is the place where I learnt what good quality acting is, despite the genre. Today, whoever I am, it is because of this place. I am grateful to have gotten this opportunity to fulfil my dreams.”
