Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee’s wedding festivities continue to steal the limelight! After tying the knot in an intimate ceremony on June 6, 2025, the lovely couple hosted a lavish, star-studded wedding reception in Hyderabad that turned out to be a grand affair filled with glitz, glamour, and heartfelt moments.
Held on Sunday evening, the reception saw some of the biggest names from the South Indian film industry and political circles in attendance. From Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar to Tamil star Suriya, director Venky Atluri, and Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, the event shimmered with celebrity presence. Former Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu was also seen blessing the newlyweds.
Adding a personal touch to the evening, Annapurna Studios shared exclusive pictures from the reception. Akhil looked every bit the dashing groom in a tailored white suit, while Zainab stunned in a dreamy peach-hued floor-length gown, complete with intricate lace details and statement jewelry.
One of the most viral moments came from a rare family portrait featuring Nagarjuna, Amala Akkineni, Naga Chaitanya, and Sobhita Dhulipala—the latter two posing together and igniting buzz with their subtle couple appearance. Sobhita dazzled in a regal red saree with a golden sleeveless blouse, while Chaitanya looked suave in his tailored formal suit.
Another viral image that caught fans’ attention was from an earlier Sufi night celebration, where Akhil and Zainab radiated royal vibes. Akhil wore a navy-blue sherwani, while Zainab sparkled in a floral-printed gown with a voluminous silhouette. The bride’s mehendi and sparkling engagement ring added to the charm, along with her maang tikka and statement neckpiece.
Nagarjuna, the proud father, shared a heartfelt note on June 6:
“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.”
From family blessings to industry camaraderie, Akhil and Zainab’s wedding journey has captured hearts online, making it one of the most talked-about celebrity unions of the year.
