About Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee's wedding

Zainab is the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, originally from Hyderabad and involved in the construction business. She is an artist, businesswoman, and perfumer from Mumbai. While Akhil and Zainab kept their relationship private, the couple are believed to have dated before their engagement last year.

Their wedding was an intimate affair, with stars like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel in attendance. Several videos and pictures from the wedding surfaced online, showing the bride in an ivory saree and the groom in a white dhoti-kurta. The two tied the knot in Hyderabad in a traditional Telugu ceremony. Videos from the wedding also showed Akhil’s brother Naga Chaitanya and father Nagarjuna dancing in the baraat.

Nagarjuna shared the wedding photos of his son on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “With immense joy, Amala and I are delighted to share that our dear son has married his beloved Zainab in a beautiful ceremony (3:35 am) at our home, where our hearts belong. We watched a dream come true surrounded by love, laughter, and those dearest to us. We seek your blessings as they begin this new journey together. With love and gratitude.”
