Tollywood superstar Nagarjuna's younger son, Akhil Akkineni, got married to artist Zainab Ravdjee in an intimate ceremony in Hyderabad on June 6, Friday. The couple got engaged in November last year, and they tied the knot in the presence of their friends and family members.
While the newlyweds are yet to share official photos of their wedding, picture of the two dressed in shades of white for their special day have surfaced online.
After they had announced their engagement, Akhil and Zainab were trolled for their age difference and because of their different religious beliefs.
What is the age difference between Akhil & Zainab?
Akhil was born in April 1994 to Nagarjuna and his wife, Amala. After pursuing his higher education abroad, Akhil returned to Hyderabad, and currently stays with his parents. At present, Akhil is aged 30.
On the other hand, Zainab is the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee. She herself is an accomplished artist, and as per reports, she is currently aged 39.
Zainab is, thus, 9 years older to Akhil, and netizens commented on social media that they were the "new Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas".
