Since then, she has built a portfolio as a popular contemporary impressionistic artist in Hyderabad. Zainab belongs to an affluent business family. She is the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, a pioneer in the construction industry, and one of the richest men in Hyderabad. Zainab's brother, Zain Ravdjee, serves as the Chairman and Managing Director of ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd, their family business. Zainab and Akhil met a couple of years ago and started dating. In November, the two announced their engagement when Akhil shared their pictures together on his social media for the first time. The actor wrote on his Instagram, 'Found my forever. Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are happily engaged.'
