The Akkineni family is once again abuzz with wedding excitement as Akhil Akkineni, son of Telugu cinema legends Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, prepares to tie the knot with artist and perfumer Zainab Ravdjee on June 6, 2025. The star-studded event has caught public attention not only for its glamour but also for the intriguing personality of the bride-to-be.
Nagarjuna Invites Telangana Chief Minister
In a warm gesture highlighting the wedding’s high-profile nature, Nagarjuna and Amala recently visited Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy at his Jubilee Hills residence, personally inviting him to the celebrations. Zainab’s parents accompanied them, marking a moment of cordial family diplomacy that was captured in a cheerful photograph shared widely on social media. This invite signals the wedding’s importance not just in film circles but also in political spheres.
From Engagement to Wedding Bells
Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee’s engagement last November was a quietly celebrated affair within the family home in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Since then, anticipation has been building steadily. While fans eagerly await the details of the big day, rumors swirl around the wedding venue — possibly at the family-owned Annapurna Studios or an exotic destination in Rajasthan. However, the Akkineni family has remained tight-lipped, allowing curiosity to grow.
Who Is Zainab Ravdjee?
Far from just being Akhil’s fiancée, Zainab Ravdjee is a celebrated artist known for her abstract and vibrant paintings. Born and raised in Hyderabad, she currently resides in Mumbai and has carved a niche for herself in the art world. Her journey extends beyond painting—she briefly ventured into acting, notably appearing in MF Hussain’s Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities.
Zainab also has a passion for perfumery, running a popular fragrance blog, Once Upon The Skin, where she shares her knowledge and love for scent creation. Her multicultural upbringing—living in Dubai, London, and Mumbai—adds layers to her creative vision and personal story.
A Family of Stature
Zainab hails from a prominent business family. Her father, Zulfi Ravdjee, is a respected industrialist in the construction sector, and her brother Zain Ravdjee heads ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd. This blend of art, entrepreneurship, and cosmopolitan lifestyle makes her a fascinating figure in her own right, bringing a unique charm to the Akkineni family.
As Akhil prepares for his next big film project Lenin, fans also eagerly anticipate the wedding that promises to be a grand celebration of love, blending the worlds of cinema, art, and culture. With close family, celebrities, and political dignitaries expected, the Akkineni-Ravdjee wedding is poised to be one of 2025’s most talked-about events.
