Interestingly, Akhil's engagement to Zainab marks his second time entering a committed relationship of this nature. Akhil Akkineni and Shriya Bhupal were previously engaged until they called it off in 2017, sending shockwaves across the industry. Despite efforts from both families to reconcile the two, the couple parted ways at the time.

Meanwhile, Akhil Akkineni’s elder sibling, Naga Chaitanya, is all set to tie the knot on December 4, 2024. The prolific Telugu cinema actor is marrying his girlfriend, Sobhita Dhulipala, after getting engaged on August 8, 2024.
