Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni has officially tied the knot with Zainab Ravdjee in a private wedding ceremony held in Hyderabad on June 6, 2025. The event was attended by close family members and select industry friends, making it a heartfelt and intimate affair. The couple, who got engaged in November 2024, opted for a traditional Telugu wedding, embracing cultural rituals and customs.
The wedding took place at Annapurna Studios, a venue deeply connected to the Akkineni family’s legacy. Zainab, a renowned artist and perfumer, looked stunning in a pastel ivory silk saree, paired with traditional temple jewelry, while Akhil complemented her elegance in a simple ivory kurta and dhoti. The ceremony was filled with joyous moments, including a lively baraat, where Akhil’s father Nagarjuna and brother Naga Chaitanya were seen dancing with enthusiasm2.
Several Tollywood celebrities, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel, graced the occasion, adding a touch of glamour to the otherwise low-key celebration. The couple’s wedding photos have gone viral on social media, with fans showering them with love and blessings. Their relationship, despite an age difference, has been a testament to mutual respect and deep affection, making their union even more special3.
As Akhil and Zainab embark on this new chapter, their wedding stands as a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity. Fans eagerly await their post-wedding celebrations, and Akhil’s upcoming film Lenin, set to release in November 2025.
