Actor Akhil Akkineni married artist-businesswoman Zainab Ravdjee in a close-knit ceremony in Hyderabad last week. His parents, actor couple Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, posted pictures of their wedding on social media, blessing the couple. Fans couldn’t help but notice similarities in one particular pic of Akhil and Zainab with this moment from Nagarjuna and Amala’s wedding.

Akhil-Zainab mirror Nagarjuna-Amala
In a sweet moment captured during the wedding, Akhil can be seen holding Zainab’s hands while taking the pheras. The actor looks at the camera while Zainab blushes. Fans dug up old pictures from Nagarjuna and Amala’s wedding and found them captured in a similar moment during the pheras.
Both couples are dressed in ivory in the pictures, with floral garlands and holding hands. Akhil and Zainab also wear a kurta and a saree similar to Nagarjuna and Amala, respectively. One fan shared both pictures on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “#KingNagarjunaAmala #AkhilZainab Same pattern…” Other fans agreed.
Another similarity found in father and son
A fan pointed out another pattern repeated in father and son, writing, “Second pelli kuda same pattern (He also followed the pattern of second wedding).” While technically not factual that this is Akhil’s second wedding, it is his second engagement. In 2016, Akhil was engaged to Shriya Bhupal, granddaughter of the business tycoon, GV Krishna Reddy. Their wedding was called off in 2017 for undisclosed reasons.
