The youngest son of Telugu star Nagarjuna Akkineni, actor Akhil Akkineni, is ready to take a new turn in life. Akhil is said to be tying the knot with Zainab Ravdjee on June 6, 2025, after a secretive relationship and a hushed-up November 2024 engagement.
The date has been locked in, from a source very close to the couple," a source told Siasat. Although there is no official announcement yet from the Akkineni family, reports suggest that wedding preparations are in full swing behind the scenes.
It is being speculated that the wedding will be held at the Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, a place which has been a witness to many events that marked the lives of the members of the Akkineni family. Incidentally, it is this very place where Akhil’s elder brother, Naga Chaitanya, had secretly tied the knot with his actress-wife, Sobhita Dhulipala, in December 2024.
There’s also chatter about another bash or pre-wedding taking place in Rajasthan, but nothing has been confirmed.
Who is Zainab Ravdjee?
Akhil’s fiancée is Zainab Ravdjee, an artist known for her fearless, abstract style of painting. She is the daughter of the prominent industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee. They had been acquaintances for a few years when they started to form their own connection and became engaged in 2024.
Even though they're both celebs, Akhil and Zainab have maintained privacy about their relationship and their wedding has been one of the most-awaited, yet low-key affairs in Tollywood.
