React Laravel - File showing in state but not in controller - reactjs

Question

My project has React as frontend and Laravel as backend.
I am trying to upload a file and the details of the file appear in state while uploading but not in the controller and hence not able to upload it in folder.
Component has
<div className="form-group col-sm-4">
<div className="imgPreview">{$imagePreview}</div>
<label>Profile Pic</label>
<input className="form-control" type="file" name="profile_pic" onChange={(e)=>this._handleImageChange(e)}/>
</div>
further codes are:
_handleImageChange(e) {
e.preventDefault();
let reader = new FileReader();
let file = e.target.files[0];
reader.onloadend = () => {
this.setState({
fileselected: file,
profile_pic: file.name,
imagePreviewUrl: reader.result
});
}
reader.readAsDataURL(file)
}
Data gets uploaded though axios
submitHandler = e =>{
e.preventDefault()
this.props.drprofilecreate(this.state)
}
export const drprofilecreate = (data) => dispatch =>{
console.log("Coming form profile create action ")
console.log(data)
return axios.post('/api/v1/drProfileCreate', data)
.then( res =>res.data )
.then(drprofile =>
dispatch({
type: DRPROFILECREATE,
payload: drprofile,
}),
)
}
When I view the data being uploaded, it shows the file with its details like name, size etc. But the same does not come in the controller. It shows a blank array.
public function drProfileCreate(Request $request){
$data = $request->all();
$response = [
'success' =>true,
'datax' =>'Dr Profile uploaded in Contorller. Check',
'data' => $data
];
return response()->json($response, 201);
}
Hence Iam not able to upload the image. Help please. Appreciated
