Amala Akkineni on Daughters-in-Law: Love Unites Diverse Faiths
26 Nov
Summary
- Amala Akkineni finds great admiration and affection for her daughters-in-law.
- She highlights how diverse faiths enrich the Akkineni family's home.
- The family has embraced multiculturalism and interfaith harmony.

Actor-activist Amala Akkineni recently spoke about her admiration for her daughters-in-law, Sobhita Dhulipala and Zainab Ravdjee, and the positive atmosphere they have brought to the Akkineni family. She expressed particular warmth towards Sobhita, describing her as talented and affectionate, and similarly praised Zainab as a warm and accomplished individual who has enriched the family with her sensibility towards Islam.
Akkineni elaborated on how Zainab's integration into the family has been seamless, with efforts made to ensure her comfort in practicing her faith within their Hindu household. This inclusive approach is rooted in the family's own diverse religious backgrounds, including Amala's upbringing influenced by Catholicism, Sufism, and Hinduism, and her personal practice of Buddhism.
The family's embrace of multiculturalism and interfaith harmony is a significant aspect of their dynamics. Amala's father-in-law, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, emphasized work and humanity, further contributing to the family's open-mindedness. The recent marriages of Naga Chaitanya to Sobhita Dhulipala and Akhil Akkineni to Zainab Ravdjee mark new chapters in this narrative of familial love and acceptance.
