Intimate temple wedding at Isha Foundation
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru have ended months of speculation by sharing the first set of wedding photographs from a quiet, spiritual ceremony at the Isha Foundation Centre in Coimbatore. The couple chose a low-key temple ritual over a big public celebration, surrounded only by close friends and family.
Wedding looks: traditional and elegant
The newly released pictures show Samantha in a striking red silk saree with intricate gold work, heavy temple jewellery, stacked bangles and a neat bun adorned with a gajra. Raj kept things simple and classic in a white/off-white kurta–pyjama with a light gold Nehru jacket. The pair were barefoot, as customary for temple ceremonies, and are seen walking together under a floral archway, beaming with joy.
Celebrity congratulatory messages
Immediately after the photo drop, messages of goodwill poured in from across the film world. Notable names who sent congratulations included:
- Dia Mirza
- Manushi Chhillar
- Parvathy Thiruvothu
- Lavanya Tripathi Konidela
- Divya Spandana
From screen chemistry to real-life partnership
Rumours about Samantha and Raj began after their collaboration on The Family Man Season 2, where Samantha’s role as Raji won widespread praise. Their bond deepened while working together on Citadel, and Raj’s visible support for Samantha’s production house, Tralala Pictures, and her investments in sports only fueled curiosity.
Signs fans followed
Over the past year, the couple were spotted together several times — travelling, photographed holding hands and sharing quiet moments — keeping the rumour mill active. Both kept a dignified silence until the wedding photos confirmed what fans had long been speculating.
What this moment means
With these images now public, fans and well-wishers have a clear, celebrated moment to cherish. The simple, spiritual ceremony reflects the pair’s preference for intimacy and tradition over spectacle as they begin this new chapter together.
