Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru have reportedly tied the knot in a hush-hush ceremony on December 1 at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The news has taken fans and the industry by surprise after months of rumours about their relationship. A brief glimpse of the couple is circulating on social media, adding to the excitement as followers wait for an official statement.
Secret ceremony, close-knit guest list
Sources say the wedding was a low-key affair attended only by close family and a handful of friends. Organisers kept details tightly under wraps, and more information about the venue, guest list and rituals is expected when the couple makes a formal announcement. Meanwhile, congratulatory messages have already begun pouring in from fans and colleagues.
From on-screen chemistry to real-life bond
The rumours about Samantha and Raj began during The Family Man Season 2, where Samantha’s role as Raji earned widespread attention. Their professional partnership continued with Citadel, and sightings of them together — travelling, holding hands and attending events — fuelled persistent social media chatter.
Observers also noted Raj’s public support for Samantha’s production banner, Tralala Pictures, and his encouragement when she moved into sports investments, which only deepened speculation about their relationship.
Both starting a new chapter
- Samantha Ruth Prabhu was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya; the couple announced their separation in 2021.
- Raj Nidimoru — one half of the creative duo Raj & DK — was earlier married to Shyyamali De; they divorced in 2022.
Fans see this union as a fresh beginning for both. The understated nature of the ceremony has made the story even more talked-about, turning long-standing whispers into reality.
What’s next
An official announcement from Samantha and Raj is expected soon. Until then, fans will be watching social feeds for more photos and reactions from the couple’s inner circle. This development also follows Samantha’s growing public work, including her recent role with UN Women India to address digital violence, showing she remains active both on and off screen.
