Akhil Akkineni's Bride, Zianab Wore Diamond Jewellery And Ditches Usual South Indian Gold Jewels

The entire Akkineni family is celebrating the union of Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee. The couple got engaged in November 2024, ahead of his half-brother, Naga Chaitanya's second wedding with Sobhita Dhulipala. On June 6, 2025, Akhil and Zainab got married in the presence of their close family and friends. The wedding was an intimate affair, and pictures of the same have been going around.

Bride, Zainab ditched the gold jewellery and opted for diamond accessories

For the intimate wedding, the bride ditched the usual South Indian bridal look, which is adorned with heavy gold jewellery from head to toe. Instead, she kept her look delicate with diamond jewellery. Zainab wore an ivory-gold saree. Talking about her bridal jewellery, Zainab wore a diamond choker neckpiece with red ruby in the centre. She styled it with a three-layered diamond necklace, a mathapatti, a nath, matching jhumkas, a waist belt made of diamonds and diamond bangles.

Akhil Akkineni shared his engagement photos with Zainab

On November 26, 2024, Akhil Akkineni took to his Instagram handle, and posted a couple of pictures of his engagement with Zainab. In the photos, the couple twinned in white. While Akhil looked handsome in a crisp white-hued shirt with matching pants, Zainab picked a flowy white-hued maxi dress with bishop sleeves.

Subtle makeup, perfectly lined eyes and pink lipstick completed her look. The bride-to-be opted for an open side-parted hairstyle. In the first picture, Akhil and Zainab held each other's hands, and the scenic view of the setting sun with greenery left our jaws dropped. In the next photo, Akhil hugged Zainab from the back, and we could clearly see the huge diamond ring he had gifted her.

In the last photo, we saw a close-up shot of the soon-to-be-married couple. They looked madly-in-love as they were lost in each other's eyes. Along with it, Akhil announced that he has finally found his 'forever'. However, he switched off the comment section. He wrote:

"Found my forever Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are happily engaged."

Akhil Akkineni's earlier relationship 

Not many know that Akhil Akkineni was earlier engaged to Shriya Bhupal, the granddaughter of the business tycoon, G.V. Krishna Reddy. The couple's wedding date was fixed in 2017, but the marriage was called off and the reason was never made public. Talking about Akhil's current partner, Zainab Ravdjee is an artist, who is known for her vibrant and abstract paintings. 

More about Zainab

Zainab Ravdjee is the daughter of Zulfi Ravdjee, who has been a famous name in the construction industry for the past 30 years. Zainab's brother, Zain Ravdjee, is leading the ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd as Chairman and Managing Director. However, people were quick to point out Zainab's religion. It seems to be an interfaith marriage. Not only this, but netizens also found out that Zainab is 9 years older than Akhil. And to avoid trolling and negativity being directed towards them, Akhil had switched off the comments when he had announced his engagement to her.
