Twin celebrations for the Akkineni family! Nagarjuna's elder son, Naga Chaitanya who is all set to tie the knot with actress Sobhita Dhulipala on December 4, 2024. Naga Chaitanya's younger brother Akhil Akkineni on Tuesday announced the news of his engagement to Zainab Ravdjee and the couple are soon going to enter into wedlock.
Akhil shared pictures from his engagement and wrote. "Found me forever... Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are happily engaged (sic)."
Ever since the news was announced, fans flocked to social media and wished the couple as they start a new chapter in their lives. Many netizens noticed that Akhil turned off the comments section of his engagement post on Instagram.
A section of netizens trolled him by dropping comments under other posts of Akhil, criticising him for the interfaith relationship with Zainab. Some even pointed out the age difference between the couple, sharing that Zainab was 9 years older than Akhil.
A comment read, "You guys are spoiling the overall welfare of the culture and India."
A user wrote while another quipped, "South's Priyanka and Nick."
Apart from Akhil, Nagarjuna also announced his younger son's engagement. He welcomed his "daughter-in-law" Zainab to the family.
