Actor <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/akshay-oberoi-to-star-in-a-courtroom-thriller-love-lottery-begins-shooting-23620572" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Akshay Oberoi</a>, who has three anticipated projects of 2026 - Toxic, King, and Neeraj Pandey's production - said that if he were asked two years ago whether he&rsquo;d imagined a time like this, he would&rsquo;ve honestly said no.&nbsp;
Akshay, who began experiencing a strong career shift with <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/anil-kapoor-looks-back-at-memories-of-shooting-fighter-as-it-turns-2-23613713" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Fighter</a>, believes this phase is a culmination of years of perseverance, patience, and belief in the craft.
Akshay says, &ldquo;If you had asked me even two years ago whether I imagined a time like this, I would have honestly said no. This industry teaches you humility every single day. I&rsquo;ve been here for a long time, doing my work quietly, trusting the process, sometimes doubting myself, but never giving up.&rdquo;
&ldquo;To suddenly be in a space where I&rsquo;m part of two films and one series where people are genuinely excited about Toxic, King and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/akshay-oberoi-on-working-with-manoj-bajpayee-he-pushes-you-to-be-better-23608570" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Neeraj Pandey's</a> next, it&rsquo;s overwhelming in the best way possible,&rdquo; said the actor.
Somewhere, Akshay feels like life has come full circle.
&ldquo;Fighter became a turning point for me, not just professionally, but emotionally. It reminded me why I chose this path in the first place.&rdquo;
&ldquo;From there to Toxic, then King, and now working with someone like Neeraj Pandey, these are the moments you silently hope for as an actor, but never take for granted. I genuinely feel like I&rsquo;m finally getting my due, not overnight, but after years of learning, unlearning, waiting, and growing.&rdquo;
Akshay further reflects on the journey that shaped him, &ldquo;There were phases where nothing seemed to move, where you question your choices. But I think those years prepare you for moments like this. Today, I feel grateful for the opportunities, for the faith filmmakers have shown in me, and for the audience that has slowly but surely embraced my work.&rdquo;
&ldquo;This phase is very emotional for me because it validates the journey, the struggle, and the belief that good work eventually finds its moment.&rdquo;
