After exchanging vows in an intimate wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee brought the festivities to Hyderabad with a reception. The couple’s Tuscan wedding, held in the presence of just a handful of family and close friends, was a quiet and picturesque affair.
In contrast, the Hyderabad reception—hosted by Akhil’s parents, Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni—was a nod to their roots and extended circle. Held at their residence, the reception saw the who's who of Tollywood, family friends, and prominent faces from the South Indian film fraternity.
The newly-wed Zainab turned heads in a soft peach lace gown with subtle shimmer and a cascading cape, keeping the overall look understated. Akhil chose a white tuxedo, staying true to the classic groom aesthetic with a modern twist. The décor leaned into understated luxury, with muted florals, warm lighting, and an inviting ambience. Check out their photos below.
