Hyderabad: Tollywood star Akhil Akkineni, son of actor Nagarjuna, surprised fans on Tuesday with his engagement announcement to Zainab Ravdjee. Nagarjuna shared the news on social media, welcoming Zainab into the family with warm wishes.
Akhil also posted on Instagram, saying, “Found my forever. Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are happily engaged.”

A Look Back at Akhil and Shriya Bhupal
In 2016, Akhil got engaged to Shriya Bhupal, a well-known fashion designer and granddaughter of businessman GVK Reddy. The two planned a destination wedding in Italy, but things took a turn just months before the big day.
Reports say the couple had a big fight at Hyderabad Airport, and despite efforts from both families to fix things, the relationship ended. Friends believe Akhil, then 22, may have had doubts about marriage.
The families canceled all wedding arrangements, including travel and hotel bookings. Shriya moved to the US to focus on her career, while Akhil threw himself into his films.
Now, Akhil seems to have found happiness with Zainab. Their strong bond gives fans hope for a joyful future. The Akkineni family is thrilled, and fans are sending love and blessings.
