Expressing joy in his son’s engagement, Nagarjuna Akkineni took it to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to congratulate the happy couple. Similar to welcoming Sobhita Dhulipala into their family after Naga Chaitanya’s engagement ceremony, the Coolie actor also welcomed his second daughter-in-law to the Akkineni clan.

In a short note, the actor said, “We couldn't be happier to welcome Zainab into our family. Please join us to congratulate the young couple and wish them a lifetime filled with love, joy, and your countless blessings.”

Zainab is also the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee. Despite the artist being originally from Hyderabad, she resides in Mumbai and is also known for her paintings.

Moving ahead, the engagement to Zainab marks Akhil’s second time entering a committed relationship like the same. Akhil Akkineni and Shriya Bhupal were previously engaged to each other up until they called it off in 2017, sending shockwaves across the industry.

As per reports, the couple had a fallout during an argument that led to them calling off their engagement. While Akhil continued his career in Telugu cinema, Shriya moved out of the country and decided to pursue her fashion label, despite her grandfather and Nagarjuna Akkineni trying to mend their relationship.
