About this book

जीवन हा एक संघर्ष आहे आणि तो प्रत्येकाच्या वाट्याला वेगवेगळ्या रूपात येतो, पण काही लढे असे असतात जे केवळ एका व्यक्तीचे नाही तर संपूर्ण कुटुंबाचे असतात. अक्षय परांजपे याची गोष्टही अशीच आहे. विल्सन नावाचा गंभीर आजाराचा त्याच्या आयुष्यावर आघात झाला. या आजाराने अक्षयचं बालपणच नव्हे; तर संपूर्ण कुटुंबाचं आयुष्य बदलून टाकलं. असं घडूनही अक्षय आणि त्याचे कुटुंब पाय रोवून विल्सनशी लढायला उभे ठाकले. या संघर्षातून अक्षयच नाही तर त्याचं कुटुंबही तावून सुलाखून बाहेर पडलं आणि फोटोग्राफीच्या माध्यमातून अक्षय स्वतःच्या पायावर उभा राहिला. विल्सन हा आजार, कर्णबधीरत्व, त्याच्या आईचा कॅन्सर या सगळ्या आघाड्यांवर लढताना आलेले अनुभव यासाठी वाचायलाच हवं असं हे पुस्तक आहे. क्षयचे जिगरी दोस्त, सिनेविश्वातील सेलेब्रिटी - महेश मांजरेकर, सचिन पिळगांवकर, प्रवीण तरडे, संदीप पाठक, श्रीरंग देशमुख, गुरू ठाकूर, वैभव जोशी या सगळ्यांनीच अक्षयविषयी लिहिलेले त्यांचे अनुभव या पुस्तकाला रंजक करतात.

Life is a struggle, and it comes to each of us in different forms. Some battles, however, are not fought by an individual alone—they are faced by an entire family. The story of Akshay Paranjape is one such inspiring journey.

Akshay’s life was profoundly affected by Wilson’s Disease, a serious medical condition that not only altered his childhood but also transformed the lives of his entire family. Despite these immense challenges, Akshay and his family stood firm and fought courageously against the disease. Through perseverance and determination, they emerged stronger from this struggle, and Akshay eventually built an independent career for himself through photography.

This book chronicles the experiences of battling Wilson’s Disease, hearing impairment, and his mother’s cancer, offering a deeply moving account of resilience, hope, and the strength of family bonds.

Adding further depth and appeal to the book are personal reflections and experiences shared by Akshay’s close friends from the film and entertainment industry, including Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Pravin Tarde, Sandeep Pathak, Shrirang Deshmukh, Guru Thakur, and Vaibhav Joshi. Their contributions make this inspiring story even more engaging and memorable.
