Akhil Akkineni Announces Engagement, As the Akkineni family prepares for the much-awaited wedding of Naga Chaitanya to actress Sobhitha Dhulipala, another significant milestone has arrived. Nagarjuna, the patriarch of the family, has shared some exciting news—his younger son, Akhil Akkineni, is now engaged to Zainab Ravdjee. The announcement has delighted not just the family but fans of the Akkineni legacy.

In a heartfelt social media post, Nagarjuna shared the joyous news, stating, “We are thrilled to announce the engagement of our son, @AkhilAkkineni8, to our daughter-in-law-to-be, Zainab Ravdjee! We couldn’t be happier to welcome Zainab into our family. Please join us in congratulating the young couple and wishing them a lifetime filled with love, joy, and your countless blessings.”
The engagement comes as a pleasant surprise, especially considering Akhil’s past. In 2016, Akhil had been engaged to Shriya, and their lavish engagement ceremony in Hyderabad had captured the attention of fans and the media. However, the engagement was later called off, leading to speculation surrounding the reasons behind the breakup.
Some believed the age gap between Akhil, who was 22 at the time, and Shriya, who was 26, contributed to the end of their relationship. Others speculated that Akhil’s hesitation towards commitment caused the strain, with the couple reportedly facing challenges as the wedding day approached.
In addition to these rumors, the couple was seen arguing at the Hyderabad airport, an incident that raised eyebrows among their close ones. A source quoted by The Times of India recalled, “At first, we thought it was just a typical lovers’ disagreement, but things definitely weren’t the same afterward.”
Now, with Akhil’s engagement to Zainab, the Akkineni family is excited about this new chapter. Nagarjuna’s announcement has brought joy to fans, who are eager to see the couple’s future unfold. Fans have poured in their congratulations, sharing heartfelt wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness for the young couple.
