His father Ramji Singh served as a government school teacher in Bihar's Sasaram. He faced opposition from his parents and neighbors in Bihar for his passion for playing cricket over academics.
At a time when the Bihar Cricket Association was suspended, there was no proper platform for budding cricketers in Bihar to pursue their career prospects in cricket, and Akash Deep was one of the victims of it.
Some of the parents urged their children not to mingle with Akash Deep, as Akash was the only person to passionately engage in cricket in Sasaram. Meanwhile, some of those parents were cautious that their own children would follow in the footsteps of Akash Deep by abandoning academics.
A close friend of him helped him to join a cricket club in Durgapur to manage his daily expenses. He started playing tennis-ball matches around the Durgapur district and earn Indian Rupees 600 per day and he would earn around 20,000 per month playing tennis-ball matches..
