Regarding the wedding

For the reception, Sobhita paired an embellished yellow blouse with a red saree. The reception ceremony for Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni's son, Akhil Akkineni, was a glittering event, with numerous close friends and supporters in attendance. Numerous celebrities, including Ram Charan and Yash, were spotted at the reception ceremony offering their best wishes to the newlyweds.

A few days ago, Naga and Sobhita shared a fresh photo of themselves next to the newlywed couple as a way of inviting them into the family. In the joyful family portrait, Amala and Nagarjuna also stood next to each other. The caption said, "Welcome to the family dear Z Congratulations to the newlyweds."

Akhil and Zainab got engaged last year in November after dating for some time, and they were married in a small ceremony in Hyderabad on June 6. Nagarjuna additionally shared photographs of Akhil and Zainab during the pheras. Both Akhil and Zainab donned ivory garments as the wedding ceremony followed traditional Telugu customs. Zainab, the daughter of entrepreneur Zulfi Ravdjee, is an artist and a businesswoman.
