The recent wedding of filmmaker Raj Nidimoru to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has garnered significant attention, not only for the union itself but also for the reactions surrounding it, particularly from Raj's former wife, Shhyamali De. The couple tied the knot on December 1, 2025, in an intimate ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore.
Shhyamali De, who has generally maintained a low profile, has become a subject of public interest following the wedding. While she has not directly commented on the marriage, her social media activity has been interpreted by many as a reaction to the event. On her Instagram stories, Shhyamali posted an image of the universe with an arrow pointing to a tiny planet, accompanied by the caption, "We live here". This post, made shortly after Samantha and Raj shared their wedding photos, sparked curiosity and speculation among observers.
Prior to the wedding, Shhyamali had also shared a quote that alluded to the transient nature of relationships and karmic connections. The quote spoke of how relationships end when karmic debts are exhausted, bringing an end to associated joys and sorrows.
More recently, according to BollywoodShaadis, Shhyamali De has finally reacted to the wedding of Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu and thanked those who have supported her. While the exact details of her reaction are not available in the provided context, the report suggests that she has bared her heart and expressed gratitude for the support she has received.
Neither Raj Nidimoru nor Shhyamali De have publicly discussed the details of their separation, which reportedly occurred in 2022. Shhyamali has been described as a behind-the-scenes figure in the Indian film industry, with some reports mentioning her involvement in earlier projects like 'Rang De Basanti' and 'Omkara'.
Raj Nidimoru's sister, Sheetal, addressed the rumors surrounding his first marriage and celebrated the union with Samantha. Sheetal shared a family portrait from the wedding ceremony and spoke of the peace and clarity that the marriage has brought to their lives. She also expressed pride in how Raj and Samantha are moving forward with "calm, dignity, honesty".
The wedding of Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru marks a second marriage for both. Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, with their separation announced in 2021. Naga Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024. Raj Nidimoru and Samantha have worked together on projects such as "The Family Man 2" and "Citadel: Honey Bunny". Their relationship had been a subject of speculation for some time before their marriage. The wedding ceremony at the Isha Foundation was a private affair attended by close friends and family.
