A Private Yet Grand Wedding Affair

Akhil’s wedding pictures, showcasing heartwarming moments from the pheras and puja, quickly took the internet by storm. His mother Amala was the first to officially announce the wedding with a touching note, warmly welcoming Zainab Ravdjee into the family.
Chaitanya and Sobhita’s Graceful Presence
Adding to the celebration, Akhil’s half-brother Naga Chaitanya and his wife, Sobhita Dhulipala, also shared heartfelt wishes for the newlyweds. The couple, who themselves got married in late 2024, looked elegant as they posed with Akhil and Zainab.
Sobhita turned heads in a cream and gold silk saree, paired with a deep maroon blouse and minimal gold jewellery. Her classy look was completed with a neat low bun and understated makeup. Naga Chaitanya chose a sophisticated light beige silk kurta paired with a sherwani-style jacket and angavastram, staying true to the traditional theme.
The duo’s congratulatory message and warm welcome to Zainab on Instagram were widely appreciated by fans. Their graceful presence and familial bond added to the wedding’s emotional value.
