Nagarjuna shares first pics of Akhil-Zainab’s wedding

Nagarjuna posted pictures of Akhil and Zainab from their wedding, which took place at 3:35 AM on Friday in Hyderabad, on his X (formerly Twitter). Posting them, he wrote, “With immense joy, Amala and I are delighted to share that our dear son has married his beloved Zainab in a beautiful ceremony (3:35 am) at our home, where our hearts belong. We watched a dream come true surrounded by love, laughter, and those dearest to us.”

He added, “We seek your blessings as they begin this new journey together. With love and gratitude. @AkhilAkkineni8 #InfiniteLove #Blessings #NewBeginnings.” One sweet picture shows Amala holding Zainab and Akhil close as the family poses for a picture together. Another shows the moment Akhil tied the mangalsutram around Zainab’s neck, with his sister-in-law, Sobhita Dhulipala, Naga Chaitanya’s wife, in the background.

Nagarjuna also posted pictures of Akhil and Zainab taking the pheras, and another of him and Amala all smiles as they perform the pooja. The wedding took place in traditional Telugu style with both Akhil and Zainab dressed in ivory outfits.

Numerous celebrities, including Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Prashanth Neel, attended the wedding.
