On Friday, Akhil Akkineni, son of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, and Zainab Ravdjee exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Hyderabad. The Akkineni family hosted a lavish reception afterward. It was attended by a star-studded guest list, including many of the biggest names from the South film industry, all gathered to celebrate the newlyweds.

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala were the talk of the reception, effortlessly playing the role of perfect hosts. Newly released photos from Annapurna Studios' Instagram showcased Sobhita's radiant look in a classic red saree, complemented by an intricately embellished blouse. She posed gracefully beside Chaitanya, her joy evident as she celebrated the newlyweds, Akhil and Zainab.

Sobhita welcomed Zainab warmly on social media, sharing a heartfelt note: "Welcome to the family dear Z. Congratulations to the newlyweds."

Akhil, a Telugu film actor known for roles in films like Agent and Hello, is the son of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni. Zainab, daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, hails from Hyderabad and is involved in construction. A Mumbai-based artist, businesswoman, and perfumer, she and Akhil reportedly dated before their engagement last year. Their relationship was kept private until the recent wedding celebrations.

The intimate wedding saw stars like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel. Photos and videos showed the bride in an ivory saree and the groom in a white dhoti-kurta. The traditional Telugu ceremony in Hyderabad was filled with joy, including Akhil's brother Naga Chaitanya and father Nagarjuna dancing in the baraat.

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.
