They got married soon after falling in love. Amala, who had been traveling from Bollywood to the South for films, shifted to Hyderabad after marriage. She also quit acting after marriage, prioritizing family after Akhil's birth. After Akhil grew up, Amala made a comeback, limiting herself to small roles, mostly mother roles. She is very selective about her films. Amala is known for running Blue Cross, which cares for animals.
