At Akhil and Zainab's reception ceremony, Namrata looked beautiful in dark green velvet traditional attire, while daughter Sitatra looked resplendent in a baby pink embroidered lehenga. Mahesh Babu chose an olive green casual T-shirt with full sleeves, brown pants, and black formal shoes.
Fans started commenting as soon as his outfit went viral. One fan wrote, "Ipudu ee tshirt cost entho mari (wonder how much this t-shirt costs)". Another fan pointed out, "Ambani functional lo thappithe every time MB ilane vasthadu ga. Causal wear ye mostly. (Except for Ambani wedding, Mahesh Babu has always dressed casually). A third fan wrote, "Antha bagunad entayya (How come he looks so good)" A fourth fan wrote, "Nijam cheppali ante mb daughter Sitara domination kanapadutundi andari kante. (To be honest, MB's daughter sitara is dominating the frame)."
Some eagle-eyed fans also found out that it was a Hermes Men's puzzle floral cashmere sweater, which costs around ₹1,52,064.
Akhil and Zainab reportedly dated before their engagement last year. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Telugu ceremony attended by stars like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel. Several videos and pictures from the wedding surfaced online, showing the bride in an ivory saree and the groom in a white dhoti-kurta.
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.'

Triptii Dimri Flaunts Insane Abs, Clean Diet After Replacing Deepika Padukone In Spirit
Last Updated: Triptii's physical transformation and visible discipline seems to align perfectly with the major professional milestone she just bagged. Triptii Dimri has social media buzzing once again for a mix of fitness inspo and headline-making casting news. Days after it was confirmed that the Animal actress is replacing Deepika Padukone in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's much-anticipated film Spirit, Triptii dropped a carousel of photos that offered a glimpse into her weekend. Among them: a mirror selfie flaunting her insanely toned abs, a clean and wholesome plate of rajma chawal with okra, and a white bowl of homemade seviyan, showing off her love for balanced indulgence. One of the photos also included a cute cat lounging in a lawn. Triptii's physical transformation and visible discipline seems to align perfectly with the major professional milestone she just bagged. News18 Showsha was the first to report the real reasons behind Deepika's ouster from Spirit, and why Triptii was quickly brought on board. 'There seems to be a deliberate attempt to control the narrative," a source close to the development told News18, pushing back against claims that Deepika exited the project to focus on work-life balance. 'The actress' perception team is struggling to come to terms with her replacement and is conveniently spinning her exit as a 'work-life balance' decision. But the reality is quite different." According to the insider, the decision was driven by significant professional differences. 'The actor had reportedly demanded Rs 25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source added. While Deepika Padukone's team has not responded to News18's request for comment, the casting switch has become a major industry talking point. First Published: June 09, 2025, 21:46 IST
