Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee had officially announced their engagement on November 26, 2024, after supposedly dating for a couple of years. The actor’s soon-to-be wife is a prolific painter and had also played a part in MF Hussain’s directorial movie Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities starring Tabu and Kunal Kapoor. The artist is also a perfumer who owns the blog Once Upon The Skin.
Zainab is also the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee. Despite the artist being originally from Hyderabad, she resides in Mumbai. As the engagement took place recently, the duo’s marriage is expected to take place in 2025.
Interestingly, the engagement to Zainab marks Akhil’s second time entering a committed relationship like the same. Akhil Akkineni and Shriya Bhupal were previously engaged to each other up until they called it off in 2017, sending shockwaves across the industry. Though the families of either side tried to reconcile them, the duo had parted ways back then.
Moving ahead, Akhil Akkineni’s elder sibling, Naga Chaitanya is all set to enter the wedlock on December 4, 2024. The prolific actor of Telugu cinema is marrying his girlfriend Sobhita Dhulipala after getting engaged on August 8, 2024.
