The long-running speculation surrounding the relationship between actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru has reached its dramatic conclusion. The power duo officially tied the knot today, December 1, 2025, in an intimate, private ceremony held at the Linga Bhairavi Temple within the serene Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore.
The news was swiftly confirmed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu herself, who immediately posted beautiful pictures of the ceremony on her official Instagram page, including a snapshot of the couple exchanging rings. She captioned the post simply with the date of their wedding, “01.12.2025,” accompanied by heart emojis, allowing the images to speak volumes. The actress’s surprise announcement sent the entire film industry and fans into a celebratory frenzy, marking a significant new chapter for both stars.
The couple opted for a deeply spiritual and low-key affair, deliberately choosing the Isha Yoga Centre—a venue close to Samantha’s heart—to exchange their vows. Reports indicate the ceremony, held in the early morning hours, was attended by only a select group of around 30 close family members and friends, maintaining the couple’s desire for privacy.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu looked ethereal in a traditional red saree, adorned with gold and diamond jewelry, while Raj Nidimoru complemented her elegance in a white kurta and pyjama with a cream bandhgala. The wedding reportedly included the Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony, a ritual offered at the Linga Bhairavi Temple designed to cleanse the five elements within the couple and invoke divine grace for harmony in their union.
The photographs shared by Samantha give fans a rare glimpse into the serene wedding. Key images included:
- A shot of Raj Nidimoru placing a ring on Samantha’s finger.
- A close-up of Samantha flaunting her stunning kite-shaped wedding ring and mangalsutra.
- The couple walking hand-in-hand after the ceremony, flashing radiant smiles.
Raj Nidimoru, who forms one half of the hugely successful filmmaking duo Raj & DK, is renowned for his sharp storytelling and creation of hit series like The Family Man and Farzi. His professional collaboration with Samantha is what originally sparked the romance rumours.
The actress first worked with Raj & DK on The Family Man Season 2, where she delivered an acclaimed performance as the antagonist, Raji. Their creative partnership continued with the global action-thriller series Citadel: Honey Bunny. Beyond acting, the duo’s association grew into a business venture, with Raj serving as a creative producer on Samantha’s debut production venture, Subham. This professional trust and frequent collaboration is believed to have blossomed into their current, enduring personal bond.
The marriage marks a new beginning for both individuals, who were previously married (Samantha to actor Naga Chaitanya, and Raj to Shyamali De). The industry, having witnessed their journey and the intense speculation surrounding their relationship over the past year, showered the newlyweds with love and support.
Fellow actors, directors, and producers immediately poured into the comment section of Samantha’s Instagram post. Many celebrated the couple’s courage and happiness, while fans expressed their joy at seeing the actress find love again after a period of personal challenges. The sheer volume of well-wishes underscores the positive sentiment surrounding this high-profile union of talent and creativity.
With the wedding now complete, the focus for the star couple shifts back to their impressive professional commitments. Samantha is set to star in the action drama Maa Inti Bangaram, which she is also co-producing with Raj & DK’s banner, while Raj Nidimoru continues development on the next seasons of his acclaimed series.
