show on the BBC Asian Network radio station. Akhtar started his journalism career after a stint as a funds manager at a City of London investment bank, working as reporter and later as entertainment correspondent on European Business News/CNBC. Following this he moved to Pearson TV as on-screen reporter and film critic before returning to a role as on-screen entertainment and arts reporter with Sky News.
