Actor Akhil Akkineni has officially tied the knot with entrepreneur Zainab Ravdjee in a private, traditional Telugu wedding held in Hyderabad on Friday. The close-knit event was attended by close friends and family members.
Images and clips from the celebration are now circulating online, showing Akhil’s parents, veteran stars Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, glowing with happiness. The bride and groom were seen in coordinated ivory silk attire—Akhil in a classic pancha and Zainab in an elegant saree paired with sparkling diamond accessories.
The couple, who went public with their relationship last November through affectionate Instagram posts announcing their engagement, kept things low-key until their big day.
The festivities were star-studded, with prominent figures like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Upasana Konidela, and director Prashanth Neel spotted early at the venue. The wedding procession—or baraat—was full of energy, featuring Akhil’s cousins Sumanth, Sushanth A, and sister-in-law Sobhita Dhulipala. A lively video shows Sushanth dancing joyfully, while another highlights Akhil dancing alongside his father and brother Naga Chaitanya. Nagarjuna appeared visibly thrilled, grinning as he celebrated his son’s marriage.
Zainab, daughter of Hyderabad-based industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, is an artist, entrepreneur, and perfumer based in Mumbai. Though they maintained a low profile, the couple had reportedly been in a relationship before their engagement.
Their union has captured the internet’s attention with warmth and charm.
