In a surprise development that has set the internet abuzz, popular South Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, the director known for 'The Family Man'. The couple exchanged vows in a deeply personal and spiritual ceremony.
A Spiritual Union at the Isha Yoga Centre
The wedding took place on the morning of Monday, December 1, 2025. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the intimate event was held at the Ling Bhairavi Temple located within the premises of the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, founded by spiritual leader Sadhguru. A source close to the development confirmed the news, stating, “The wedding happened at the Ling Bhairavi Temple inside Isha Yoga Centre early morning.”
True to the serene and sacred setting of the temple, the ceremony was a low-key affair. It is reported that only about 30 guests were in attendance to witness the union. For her special day, Samantha is said to have chosen a traditional red saree, embracing the cultural and spiritual ethos of the venue.
Speculation and Cryptic Social Media Clues
Rumours about the impending wedding had been swirling since Sunday night, with several regional and national media outlets hinting at the couple's plans. The speculation reached a fever pitch following a cryptic Instagram Story posted by Raj Nidimoru's ex-wife, Sshyamali De. Her post, which read “Desperate people do desperate things,” sent social media into a frenzy, with users trying to decode whether it was a veiled reference to the reported wedding. Raj and Sshyamali had reportedly separated in 2022.
Despite the growing buzz and media reports, neither Samantha Ruth Prabhu nor Raj Nidimoru has issued an official statement or confirmation about their marriage as of now.
From Soft Launch to Wedding Bells
Samantha and Raj first sparked dating rumours in early 2024 when the actress appeared to 'soft launch' their relationship on Instagram. The duo was seen sharing warm and cozy moments in pictures that quickly went viral, prompting widespread discussion about their relationship status. Since then, they have been spotted together at various events but have largely maintained a tight-lipped stance in public.
This marks Samantha's second marriage. She was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple, often referred to as one of Telugu cinema's favourite pairs, wed in 2017 but announced their separation in 2021. Chaitanya later married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024.
Raj Nidimoru, one-half of the acclaimed director duo Raj & DK, is celebrated for his work on web series like 'The Family Man' and films such as 'Go Goa Gone'. The wedding unites two prominent figures from the Indian entertainment industry, marking a new chapter in their personal lives amidst much public interest and curiosity.
