Akhil Akkineni, gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated film 'Lenin', delighted fans by sharing a humorous moment about his personal life during a promotional interview. The actor, who has been making headlines since his marriage, sat down with Getup Srinu for a playful chat that quickly caught the attention of his followers.
During the interview, Getup Srinu put Akhil in a mock scenario as a vegetable seller, challenging him to bargain. Akhil lightheartedly admitted, "I don’t know how to bargain. Hence, my wife doesn’t allow me to buy anything (laughs). In financial matters, I don’t have a say. I am a soft person, and hence I don’t know bargaining. She keeps me aside and deals with such matters." This candid confession not only showcased his wit but also highlighted the affectionate dynamic between him and his wife, Zainab Ravdjee.
Akhil tied the knot with Zainab, an accomplished artist and daughter of Zulfi Ravdjee, in June 2025, surrounded by family and close friends. Zainab, who has lived in India, Dubai, and London, brings a cosmopolitan flair to their relationship. Fans have been enjoying these glimpses into Akhil's off-screen life, amplifying buzz ahead of 'Lenin's release.
With the promotional campaign in full swing, excitement continues to build for Akhil’s next big screen outing. Audiences can look forward to seeing him in a new avatar when 'Lenin' hits theatres soon.
