The event saw early arrivals from several notable celebrities, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Upasana Konidela, and filmmaker Prashanth Neel. Akhil’s extended family—cousins Sumanth and Sushanth A, along with sister-in-law Sobhita Dhulipala—were also part of the festivities. In one of the clips, Sushanth can be seen dancing enthusiastically, setting the celebratory mood.

A heartwarming moment captured Akhil joining his father and brother in the baraat. Nagarjuna, visibly elated, danced with infectious energy, his joy evident as he celebrated his son’s special day.

Zainab Ravdjee, daughter of Hyderabad-based industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, is an artist and entrepreneur known for her work in perfumery. Although the couple maintained a low profile about their relationship, reports suggest they were together for some time before their engagement last year.

The wedding was a blend of elegance, tradition, and heartfelt moments—highlighted by a family coming together to celebrate love.
