Tollywood’s young hero Akhil Akkineni got married to his beloved Zainab Ravi on Friday in a grand ceremony held at Hyderabad’s Annapurna Studios. The engagement took place last November, and this wedding was one of the most awaited events in the Telugu film industry this year.
Many top film industry celebrities attended the wedding to bless the newlyweds. Megastar Chiranjeevi, renowned director Prashanth Neel, global star Ram Charan and his family, and the Daggubati family were part of the celebrations. Akhil’s father, famous actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, and his mother Amala Akkineni personally invited several prominent guests. Notably, the Chief Ministers of Telugu states were invited by Nagarjuna and his wife, highlighting the wedding’s social and cinematic importance.
Zainab Ravi, the bride, is a talented artist and perfumer. She is well known for her expressive abstract artworks and runs a popular fragrance blog named “Once Upon the Skin.” Born in Hyderabad, Zainab now lives in Mumbai and belongs to a prominent business family. She also acted in a small role in the film "Meenakshi: A Tale of Three Cities," directed by M.F. Hussain.
Akhil’s fans have been eagerly waiting for details of the wedding, especially since the engagement was private and earlier there was a broken engagement with fashion designer Shriya Bhupal in 2017. After family approvals, this wedding has become one of the most talked-about events.
Reliable sources say that after the family ceremony, another grand reception is being arranged in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, later this month. The wedding has received wide media coverage, and many well-wishers are sending their blessings to the new couple.
