However, reports have now indicated that Telugu actor Akhil Akkineni and designer Shriya Bhupal have called off their engagement. Akhil is the son of actors Nagarjuna and Amala, while Shriya is the grand-daughter of industrialist GVK Reddy. The couple had been dating for a couple of years before they got engaged in 2016.
