Sharing the milestone directly with his followers online, Abishen confirmed the arrival of their newborn, prompting an outpouring of congratulatory messages from cinema colleagues, friends, and film enthusiasts across social media platforms.
Heartfelt First Photo Shared on Social Media

Alongside the picture, he penned a concise note stating that he was officially a father to a girl. The post was met with widespread celebration from audiences following his career, wishing the couple well as they embark on parenthood.
The arrival of their baby coincided closely with another family celebration. Just two days prior to the birth, Abishen and Akhila had marked their first wedding anniversary. The two have shared an enduring bond that traces back to their early years, having known each other since childhood before entering a long-term relationship that culminated in marriage.
From a Public Proposal to a High-Profile Chennai Wedding
The couple's relationship had previously captured public attention in 2025 during the promotional campaign for the Tamil film Tourist Family. In the middle of an official promotional event, Abishen proposed marriage to Akhila in front of an assembled crowd, a gesture that quickly spread across social media feeds and gained significant appreciation from fans.
Following that proposal, the pair tied the knot on October 31, 2025, at the Hanu Reddy Boathouse Garden located in the Poes Garden neighborhood of Chennai. The wedding ceremony witnessed attendance from several prominent personalities in South Indian cinema, including actor Sivakarthikeyan, veteran actress Simran, Anaswara Rajan, and filmmaker Soundarya Rajinikanth, who arrived to extend their blessings to the newlyweds.
Professional Milestones from Direction to Screen Roles
Abishen Jeevinth first made his mark in the industry as a director with the 2025 cinematic release Tourist Family. Featuring M. Sasikumar and Simran in central roles, the project earned positive reviews from audiences.

Expanding his creative pursuits, Abishen subsequently stepped in front of the camera as a lead performer in the 2026 film With Love. He is slated to appear next in the Tamil feature film Picasso, directed by Gowtham Shivaraman.
