On December 1, 2025, South Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a small, private ceremony at the Ling Bhairavi Temple inside Sadhguru’s Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. They shared pictures on Instagram, showing a simple and elegant celebration. Samantha looked stunning in a red saree with gold details, while Raj wore a white kurta with a beige Nehru jacket.
Raj was earlier married to Shhyamali De. Reports suggest they got divorced in 2022. Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya, and the two parted ways in 2021 after four years of marriage.
After the wedding news, fans noticed a mysterious Instagram story from Raj’s ex-wife, Shhyamali De, that said: “Desperate people do desperate things.” The post appeared just hours before the wedding was confirmed. She didn’t name anyone, but people speculated it was about the couple.
Samantha and Raj first worked together on The Family Man 2 in 2021, which was her first OTT project. They later teamed up for Citadel: Honey Bunny in 2024 and will appear together in the upcoming Netflix series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom.
