Sobhita Dhulipala vs Zainab Ravdjee: Here's a look at Akkineni Bahus' bridal outfits
Nagarjuna Akkineni's youngest son, Akhil Akkineni, married his partner Zainab Ravdjee on June 6. While the internet has been abuzz with the first pictures of the newlyweds, it was undoubtedly the bride's gorgeous avatar in white that left many captivated.
Moreover, while Zainab looked ethereal in her stunning bridal look, it also reminded us of the elder Akkineni bahu, Sobhita Dhulipala's glamorous wedding look a few months back.
Here are 5 ways in which their bridal looks differed from one another.
Jewelry styles
Sobhita Dhulipala's bridal look grabbed attention for her choice of heavy traditional gold jewelry. The Made in Heaven actress complemented her Kanjeevaram look with layered necklaces, bangles, kadas, a bajubandh, sheesh patti, and other accessories. All of it was of traditional design.
On the other hand, Zainab Ravdjee chose to wear stunning diamond jewelry for her wedding. The choice of design for her accessories was more modern and sleek. She wore a choker with a ruby embedded in it, along with two more layered necklaces. Kamar bandh, a pair of bangles, and heavy jhumkas accentuated her look.
Unique choices of sarees
Speaking of Sobhita Dhulipala, the actress paid ode to her traditional roots and wore a gorgeous Kanjeevaram saree in hues of gold and rust. The entire saree had dual tones of the gold color palette, which added a brilliant lustre. She wore a darker gold blouse with her gold jewelry pieces, adding a touch of glamour.
But when it came to Zainab, she ditched all bright colors and instead chose to wear white on her big day. She looked gorgeous in a silk saree with self motifs in silver threads, which added a pristine touch to her bridal avatar. It also complemented her choice of diamond jewelry, adding a modern touch.
Different engagement rings
On a closer zoom onto the bridal looks of the Akkineni bahus, both of them seemingly flaunted two absolutely different styles of engagement rings. First up, Sobhita's ring featured a round solitaire diamond fitted upon a single broad platinum base.
Zainab's engagement ring, on the other hand, had a slightly oblong-shaped diamond centrepiece. It was encased in double bands, which also featured smaller diamonds studded all over, giving it a broader appearance.
Mehendi designs
Mehendi is an integral part of weddings, and both the Akkineni daughters-in-law showcased their unique style in it, which reflected their personalities. Sobhita's mehendi was more minimal and chic. Her designs were only till the wrist of the palm, and had etched traditional floral motifs on the maximum space, with leaves drawn on her fingers.
Zainab Ravjdee, on the other hand, went for a traditional style of her mehendi. She had her hands painted with henna up to halfway up her arms, and it was more intricate and dense. There was hardly any space left in between her designs, giving it a nice, rich look.
Makeup for D-Day
Based on their choice of bridal outfits, both Sobhita Dhulipala and Zainab Ravdjee chose completely different makeup styles. The Night Manager actress paired her golden saree look with subtle smoky eyes, a hint of bronze, nicely lined eyes, and a neutral lip tint.
Zainab, on the other hand, had a more subdued, blushed vibe to her look altogether. Matching with her white saree and diamond jewelry, she opted for blushed cheeks, peach lip shade, and defined eyes.

'Reviews are paid, everything is bought': Nikkhil Advani says Indian audience no longer trusts filmmakers
Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani is one of the four executive producers behind debutant director Karan Tejpal's new film, Stolen. Nikkhil, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, and Kiran Rao have come together to lend their weight to the film, which stars Abhishek Banerjee. Ahead of the release, the filmmaker spoke to HT about the film, the state of film distribution in India, and more. Stolen follows a time-honoured tradition of getting 'big names' as executive producers for small, independent films to ensure they have visibility. But Nikkhil says the Utopian goal would be not to be in such a situation. "A big point to celebrate will be that a film like Stolen doesn't need us," he says, explaining, "Who are we? We are just putting our muscle or credibility behind this film. I think there is a complete distrust right now between the audience and the filmmaker. Basically, the audience is saying, 'Whatever you say, we don't trust you. Reviews are paid, and everything is bought.' We are just trying to say, 'Trust us!' At the end of the day, there is a certain quality we are known for." Nikkhil, who is known for films like Kal Ho Naa Ho, D-Day, and Batla House, lauds the contemporary audience for being well informed, which makes them choosier. "Audiences today, thanks to social media, have got so much information. They've got everything on their fingertips," says the filmmaker. The demarcation between independent and commercial cinema has existed in Indian filmdom for decades. For years, the indie films were called parallel cinema. Then the term multiplex films came into being, and today they are referred to as festival films. Talking about the divide, Nikkhil says, "The choices are becoming smaller. The demand to conform to the formula is getting much higher. When you want to disrupt and do something off the beaten track, you really have to do something that is marketable, whether that is the cast, the director, or the producer. But, I am very hopeful that it will turn. It has to. A good quality film will find its audience." Over the last few years, since the COVID-19 pandemic, Bollywood has seen a decline in revenue and success rate in the theatres. But Nikkhil is quick to note: "The same audience is spending money in comedy clubs and live shows. Vir Das told me earlier he used to do India tour in 6 cities. Now, he does 60 cities." The implication is simple. "The audiences need to be won back, and that is possible only by listening to them," argues the filmmaker. Stolen, starring Abhishek Banerjee, is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
