Hyderabad: Tollywood actor Akhil Akkineni has officially entered a new chapter in life, as he tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Zainab Ravdjee, in an intimate wedding ceremony held on Friday, June 6, 2025. The couple, who had been in a relationship for three years, got engaged on November 26, 2024, and have now sealed their bond with a traditional Hindu wedding surrounded by close family and friends.
The ceremony, held in Hyderabad, was attended by several prominent celebrities from the film industry. Big names, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel, were spotted at the wedding, making it a star-studded yet simple and elegant affair. Despite the buzz, the wedding remained a low-key event, respecting the couple’s desire for privacy.
One picture from the event, leaked by insiders, is already making waves on social media. Fans can’t wait for the official pictures, which are yet to be released by the family.
Both Akhil and Zainab opted for traditional Telugu wedding attire. The bride looked elegant in a pastel ivory saree paired with stunning diamond jewellery. Akhil complemented her look with a simple white kurta and dhoti, embracing the cultural roots of the ceremony. The couple’s classic yet graceful outfits have received much praise online for their timeless aesthetic.
Zainab comes from a well-respected and successful family background. Her father, Zulfi Ravdjee, is a leading figure in the construction industry, widely regarded as a pioneer in his field. Her brother, Zain Ravdjee, is the Chairman and Managing Director of ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd, a rising name in India’s clean energy sector.
Despite being raised in a business-oriented environment, Zainab chose to pursue a different path. Her creative interests led her to explore her artistic side, and with the strong support of her family, she grew into a confident and multi-talented individual. Those close to her describe her as someone who balances elegance with strength and qualities that seem to have perfectly complemented Akhil’s persona.
As fans eagerly wait for more glimpses from the wedding, congratulations have poured in for the newlyweds from across the film fraternity and fan circles alike.
