Amala Akkineni last appeared in the Hindi-language film Tumse Na Ho Payega and has largely stayed away from the limelight since.

In a conversation with the YouTube channel Aval Vikatan, Amala Akkineni reflected on her role as a mother-in-law to Sobhita Dhulipala and Zainab Ravdjee. The veteran actress shared, “I have wonderful daughters-in-law. They are delightful, they help me relive, and I have the girls' circle.”

“They are very busy, but it's good, because young people have an exciting life. It's so good to be busy. But when I get some moments with them, we enjoy. I am not a needy mother-in-law, nor am I a needy wife,” she continued.

Amala also spoke about her sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni, and her role as a mother, “They have grown up to be amazing. They have great respect for Nag sir; he is very affectionate towards them. As for me, I am a no-nonsense parent.”

For those unaware, Nagarjuna Akkineni was first married to Lakshmi Daggubati in 1984. The couple ended their marriage in 1990 but continued to co-parent their only son, Naga Chaitanya. Nagarjuna later married actress Amala Akkineni in 1992, and they have a son together, Akhil Akkineni.

Following his brother, Akhil Akkineni married Zainab Ravdjee in 2025. Zainab is a Mumbai-based artist and entrepreneur, hailing from a family of successful businessmen.
