In a warm and intimate ceremony, Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni, son of veteran stars Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, married his long-time girlfriend Zainab Ravdjee during the early hours of June 6. The private wedding was held at the Akkineni family’s Hyderabad residence, adhering to traditional Telugu rituals.
The couple, after sharing a long-standing relationship, decided to celebrate their union in a quiet, intimate manner, away from the glare of the media. As per sources close to the family, the wedding took place around 3 AM, in keeping with auspicious Telugu traditions. Only close family and a few dear friends were present, making the ceremony peaceful and deeply personal.
Akhil Akkineni and Zainab chose matching white outfits for their special day, embracing elegance and tradition. Akhil Akkineni looked graceful in a classic white kurta and pancha, complemented by a matching angavastra, reflecting cultural pride. Zainab stunned in a white and gold silk saree, paired with dazzling diamond jewellery that enhanced her graceful look. Their coordinated attire and simple celebration reflected their preference for intimacy and meaning over extravagance.
The couple deliberately chose to forgo a lavish, star-studded affair in favor of a more homely and spiritual ceremony. However, the celebrations were graced by a few notable guests from the Telugu film industry. Megastar Chiranjeevi and his wife Surekha, actor Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Kamineni, along with a few other close family friends, were present for the pre-wedding baraat held on the evening of June 5. Their presence added a touch of star power to the otherwise subdued festivities.
The Akkineni family, known for maintaining a dignified public image, has yet to make an official announcement or release photos from the ceremony, respecting the couple’s desire for privacy. Fans across the nation are pouring in congratulatory messages on social media, eager to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds and send their blessings.
Akhil Akkineni, the youngest son of veteran actor Nagarjuna, has steadily made a mark in the Telugu film industry. He debuted in 2015 with the film Akhil and has since featured in various action and romantic films. His bride, Zainab Ravdjee, has mostly stayed away from the spotlight, but her deep and enduring bond with Akhil has now blossomed into a beautiful marriage.
The quiet elegance of Akhil Akkineni and Zainab’s wedding reflects a growing trend among celebrities choosing intimate weddings over opulent spectacles. As fans await the official photos, the couple’s union has already touched hearts with its authenticity and warmth.
