Samantha Ruth Prabhu Marries Filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in Intimate Temple Ceremony

Mumbai, Dec 2025 : Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has tied the knot with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a quiet and intimate wedding ceremony held on Monday morning, marking a significant new beginning in her life. The couple exchanged vows in the presence of only close family members and a handful of friends, keeping the event deeply personal and serene. Moments later, Samantha shared the first photographs from the ceremony on Instagram, instantly delighting fans with glimpses of her traditional bridal look and the couple’s heartfelt celebration.

Speculation had been building on social media since late Sunday night, following rumours of the couple’s marriage. Samantha finally put the speculation to rest by posting her wedding pictures, offering fans their first authentic look at the ceremony and the joy shared by the newlyweds.

Samantha looked radiant in a rich red bridal saree adorned with intricate zari work, complemented by elegant gold jewellery that enhanced her classic South Indian bridal look. Raj appeared in a white kurta paired with a beige Nehru jacket, harmonising perfectly with Samantha’s vibrant attire. In one image, Samantha proudly displayed her exquisite wedding ring, which the couple exchanged before the ceremony.

The wedding took place at the Ling Bhairavi Temple located within the Isha Yoga Centre, in an early morning ritual attended by only about 30 guests. The couple’s decision to keep the ceremony low-key added a sense of purity and intimacy to the occasion.

Warm wishes from the film industry poured in soon after the photographs went public. Hansika Motwani shared her congratulations, Dia Mirza responded with heartfelt red hearts, and Upasana Kamineni Konidela called it the “best news ever.” Fans too flooded Samantha’s social media with love, praising her traditional bridal look and the exquisite detailing of her saree. Many expressed their happiness at seeing her begin this new chapter.

Samantha and Raj’s relationship first drew attention in early 2024. Over the months, Samantha’s social media posts featuring Raj sparked increasing curiosity. Their bond strengthened through their professional collaborations — starting with Samantha’s breakthrough digital role in The Family Man 2, directed by Raj & DK, followed by Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024), and their upcoming project, Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom.

Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, while Raj Nidimoru’s earlier marriage to Shhyamali De ended in 2022. With their union now official, fans and colleagues have expressed immense joy, wishing the couple a future filled with love, strength, and happiness.
