Akhil Akkineni And Zainab Ravdjee Stun In Ivory And Diamonds For Their Wedding
Last Updated:
Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee tied the knot in a traditional Telugu wedding at the legendary Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad on June 6.
Actor Nagarjuna's younger son Akhil Akkineni tied the knot with entrepreneur and artist Zainab Ravdjee on June 6. The couple got married in a lavish ceremony that was held at the legendary Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The venue paid homage to Akhil's roots as the studio was built by his grandfather, Akkineni Nageswara Rao. This was also the venue where his stepbrother Naga Chaitanya tied the knot with Sobhita Dhulipala last year.
For their traditional Telugu wedding, the couple ditched the extravagant outfits and paid a tribute to their roots. Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee opted for traditional South Indian ensembles for their special day. Avoiding flamboyance for timeless grace, Akhil opted for a crisp white shirt and traditional pancha, exuding the effortless poise of a man deeply connected to his roots. Zainab, in contrast yet complementary, was ethereal in an ivory silk saree, adorned with diamond jewellery that caught the light like poetry in motion.
Take a look at the pictures from Akhil and Zainab's wedding here.
While Zainab paired her ivory silk saree with diamond jewels, she also added gold in between for a striking look. She redefined contemporary bridal elegance, proving that true luxury often lies in simplicity. Their traditional Telugu ceremony was a masterclass in understated opulence – no flashy couture, just fluid drapes, ancestral jewels, and a whole lot of love.

Akhil and Zainab's wedding in Hyderabad was a star-studded affair. Celebrities like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Upasana, Sobhita Dhulipala, Daggubati Venkatesh, and director Prashant Neel blessed the couple on their special day. The event also brought political leaders like Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu under one roof.
Who Is Zainab Ravdjee?
While Akhil is a popular name in the Telugu film industry, not many people know about Zainab. Back in November last year, Akhil announced that he was engaged to Zainab.

‘Thug Life' box office collections day 3: Kamal Haasan's film shows slight recovery; collects Rs 30.15 crores
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan 's highly anticipated collaboration 'Thug Life' may have generated significant pre-release buzz, but the box office numbers so far reflect a slow start for the mega project. After witnessing a sharp dip on Day 2, the film showed a marginal improvement on its third day. According to early estimates reported by the Sacnilk website, 'Thug Life' earned Rs 7.50 crore on Saturday, taking its three-day India net total to Rs 30.15 crore across all languages. Modest uptick on Saturday Following its opening day collection of Rs 15.5 crore, the film saw a drastic 53.87% drop on Friday, with only Rs 7.15 crore in earnings. However, on Saturday, the film saw a modest rebound, collecting an estimated Rs 7.50 crore. This modest rise suggests some weekend momentum, although it is still short of initial expectations for a film of this scale and star power. Tamil Nadu occupancy brings hope The Tamil 2D occupancy on Saturday stood at 39.12%, offering some signs of engagement from local audiences. Chennai led the charge with 54.25% occupancy, peaking at 64% during night shows. Other regions like Madurai and Coimbatore hovered around 30–33%, with night show turnout improving slightly. Thug Life | Song - Vinveli Nayaga (Lyrical) IMAX 2D versions in Tamil also saw improved footfalls later in the day, with night shows reaching 48.23% occupancy. These figures suggest growing interest over the weekend, although still limited to specific urban pockets. Hindi belt yet to respond The film's performance in the Hindi-speaking belt remains underwhelming. With just 8.92% average occupancy on Saturday and morning shows starting as low as 3.94%, Thug Life faces a significant uphill battle to connect with the North Indian audience. Despite Kamal Haasan's pan-India appeal, the film's underwhelming reviews from the audiences has drastically affected it's box office performance all over.
