Yes, for instance when we throw an object in air..... When that object reaches maximum height then its velocity is zero but gravity is stilli acting on that body...

The answer depends on the "frame of reference" used in determining the body's velocity.
if the observer is accelerating with the object then that observer will register a velocity of zero for the object but the object still experiences acceleration .
if you are the object measuring your own speed then your speed depends on a reference point outside yourself to measure your speed. note that this reference point is not required for measuring your acceleration ( g - force ).
if you have no reference points then your speed could be zero.
the answer to your question would be a YES.
