Telugu Actor Poonam Kaur's Post Goes Viral Amid Samantha Ruth Prabhu Wedding: 'Broke A Home...'
The recent wedding of Telugu film star Samantha Ruth Prabhu to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru has stirred considerable buzz, not only for the union itself but also for the indirect reactions it has elicited on social media. Among those reactions, a cryptic post by actress Poonam Kaur has particularly caught the public's attention, sparking widespread speculation and debate.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru tied the knot on December 1st in a private ceremony at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, with close family and friends in attendance. The couple shared photos of the wedding on social media, prompting an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues.
Amidst the congratulatory messages, a post by Poonam Kaur surfaced, igniting controversy. Kaur's message, shared on social media platform X, alluded to a woman "breaking a home to build another," and criticized "empowered, educated, and narcissistic woman glorified through paid PR campaigns" and further claimed that "money can buy weak and desperate men". While Kaur's post did not explicitly name anyone, the timing, coinciding with Samantha's wedding announcement, led many to interpret it as a dig directed towards the newly married couple.
The post quickly went viral, triggering a range of reactions across social media platforms. Supporters of Samantha Ruth Prabhu criticized Kaur's comments as harsh and judgmental, arguing that they perpetuate stigma around personal choices, especially concerning marriage. Many felt the comments were disrespectful and unfair. Conversely, some defended Poonam Kaur's right to express her views, suggesting that her comments addressed broader social issues rather than targeting specific individuals.
Adding fuel to the fire, Raj Nidimoru's ex-wife, Shhyamali De, also shared an Instagram story that read, "Desperate people do desperate things". Although the post didn't mention names, it further fueled online speculation, with screenshots circulating rapidly.
Neither Samantha Ruth Prabhu nor Raj Nidimoru have publicly responded to the controversy, choosing to maintain silence amidst the swirling speculation. Some observers believe this silence reflects a desire to keep their personal lives private.
This isn't the first time Samantha has faced indirect criticism on social media. In July 2024, she was criticized by badminton player Jwala Gutta regarding the safety and accountability of a health advice that she shared, to which Poonam Kaur responded, criticizing celebrities endorsing products they don't use.
The current situation underscores the delicate balance between freedom of expression, personal boundaries, and respect for individual decisions, especially when celebrities' personal milestones become public. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether this episode will fade away or evolve into a broader discussion about privacy, judgment, and the public's role in the private lives of public figures.
