About the wedding

Sobhita paired a red saree with an embellished yellow blouse for the reception. Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni’s son Akhil Akkineni’s reception ceremony was a star-studded affair, attended by several close friends and well-wishers. From Ram Charan to Yash, many stars were seen at the reception ceremony to bless and congratulate the newlywed couple.

A few days ago, both Naga and Sobhita posted a new picture along with the newlywed couple standing beside them as a gesture to welcome them to the family. Nagarjuna and Amala also stood beside in the happy family picture. The caption read, “Welcome to the family dear Z 🤍Congratulations to the newlyweds.”

Akhil and Zainab dated for a while before getting engaged last year in November and marrying in an intimate ceremony in Hyderabad on 6 June. Nagarjuna also posted pictures of Akhil and Zainab taking the pheras. The wedding took place in traditional Telugu style with both Akhil and Zainab dressed in ivory outfits. Zainab is a businesswoman and an artist who is the daughter of businessman Zulfi Ravdjee.
