In a serene and intimate gathering, Akhil Akkineni, son of Telugu cinema icons Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, married artist-entrepreneur Zainab Ravdjee in Hyderabad. The wedding took place in the early morning hours and was steeped in tradition, elegance, and heartfelt family moments.
Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala were among the first to share their joy on social media. Both posted a charming family picture featuring the newlyweds, joined by Nagarjuna and Amala. Naga Chaitanya wore a soft yellow sherwani while Sobhita looked radiant in a cream saree with a deep red blouse.
'Congrats to the newlyweds, welcome to the family, dear Zainab,' wrote Chaitanya. Sobhita echoed the sentiment, posting, 'Welcome to the family dear Z ? Congratulations to the newlyweds.'
Amala Akkineni touched hearts with her official message on Instagram:
With immense joy, I am delighted to share that my dear son Akhil has married his beloved Zainab in an intimate ceremony at our home, in the early hours of the morning (3:35 am). It was a dream come true for Nagarjuna and me, as we shared the warmth of love, laughter and the company of those dearest to us. I seek your blessings and good wishes as they embark on this new chapter together. With love and gratitude, Amala Akkineni.
The couple’s wedding followed Telugu rituals, with Akhil and Zainab both wearing elegant ivory attire. Pictures shared by Nagarjuna showed the couple during the pheras, as well as him and Amala joyfully performing the pooja.
The decor was understated yet regal, perfectly reflecting the Akkineni family’s grace and deep cultural roots.
Zainab is the daughter of Hyderabad-based industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee. A successful artist and businesswoman, she brings creativity and confidence to the Akkineni family. With her poised charm, she’s already won the hearts of fans and media alike.
As soon as the photos surfaced, the internet lit up with love. Fans left heartfelt messages, emojis, and blessings for the couple. Comments like 'royalty with warmth' and 'glowing bride, glowing love' flooded the posts.
This Akkineni celebration wasn’t just a union of two hearts—it was a gentle, glowing reminder of what matters most: love, tradition, and the bonds of family.
