Sobhita Dhulipala recently celebrated a deeply personal and joyous occasion: the wedding of her sister-in-law, Zainab Ravdjee, to Akhil Akkineni. The actress, known for her roles in "Made in Heaven" and "The Night Manager," offered fans a glimpse into the heartfelt moments she experienced during the intimate Hyderabad ceremony held on June 6, 2025.

Sobhita wasn't just a guest; she was fully immersed in the celebrations, embracing her role as "vadhina" (sister-in-law) with evident joy. Photos from the event show her radiant in a vibrant orange sharara, actively participating in the baraat (wedding procession). One candid shot captured her laughing, reflecting her genuine happiness.

The wedding was an intimate affair held at the Akkineni residence in Hyderabad. Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee, who had been dating for some time and got engaged in November 2024, shared their wedding pictures on Instagram, with Akhil describing the day as the "best day of my life". The ceremony was followed by a reception for the film industry.

Sobhita shared a heartwarming family photo on Instagram, featuring her husband, Naga Chaitanya, her mother-in-law Amala Akkineni, Nagarjuna, Akhil, and the bride, Zainab. Her caption, "Welcome to the family dear Z. Congratulations to the newlyweds," radiated warmth and affection for the newest member of the Akkineni family.

Unseen pictures from the wedding, shared by a photographer, captured sweet moments between Sobhita and Zainab. In one photo, they are seen sharing a laugh while holding hands, and in another, Sobhita is helping Zainab with her hair as Akhil ties the mangalsutra. Another image shows Sobhita resting her chin on Naga Chaitanya's shoulder.

Nagarjuna, Akhil's father, also shared pictures from the wedding on X (formerly Twitter), expressing his immense joy and seeking blessings for the couple. The wedding was attended by several notable guests, including SS Rajamouli's son, SS Karthikeya, and Ram Charan.

Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya reportedly began dating in 2021, following Chaitanya's divorce from actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. They got engaged in August 2024 and married in December of the same year. Their presence at Akhil's wedding highlighted their strong bond and support for the Akkineni family.

Zainab Ravdjee, now Akhil's wife, is a businesswoman and artist, and the daughter of businessman Zulfi Ravdjee. The wedding marked a significant moment for the Akkineni family, celebrating love, unity, and the beginning of a new chapter for Akhil and Zainab.
