Actor Akhil Akkineni has recently gotten engaged to Zainab Ravdjee, a painter and daughter of a close business associate of Nagarjuna, as revealed by the veteran actor himself. This news has come as a surprise to fans, especially since Zainab is nine years older than Akhil. Nagarjuna urged everyone to bless the couple as they embark on this new journey together.
This marks Akhil’s second attempt at marriage, following a failed engagement to Shriya Bhupal seven years ago. Despite a grand ceremony planned for their union, the relationship ended abruptly before the wedding. Since then, Akhil kept his personal life private until now.
Zainab Ravdjee’s father, a former advisor to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and a special representative for the state in Middle Eastern countries, shares a close bond with Nagarjuna. The couple is expected to tie the knot soon, and fans eagerly await more updates on this new chapter in Akhil’s life.
