Samantha Ruth Prabhu married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in an intimate ceremony on Monday. In an earlier interview with Galatta India, the actress was pleasantly surprised by a heartfelt message from him, which left her visibly blushing.
What's Happening
- Raj Nidimoru praised Samantha for her dedication and talent. The filmmaker called her seamless transition from Tamil to Telugu cinema commendable.
- Calling her a geek and a "proper nerd," Raj Nidimoru said, "She's a bookworm; we caught her studying so hard for a scene or anything she had to do. She prepares a lot, and then acts like she didn't prepare at all."
- Furthermore, he explained that Samantha does her homework for hours but doesn't make a big deal out of it. He added that for any filmmaker, it is always a privilege to work with actors who come to set prepared.
About Samantha And Raj Nidimoru
Samantha confirmed the news of her wedding through a post on her social media handle. She shared a series of pictures from her simple, traditional, and elegant wedding on Instagram.
She looked radiant in a red silk saree with golden embellishments, while Raj wore a white kurta-pyjama paired with a cream Nehru jacket.
Samantha completed her bridal look with heavy gold jewellery, a gajra, mehendi, and subtle, complementary makeup.
The post, captioned "(white heart emoji) 01.12.2025 (white heart emoji)," featured the couple exchanging rings and offering prayers as they began their new journey together.
The wedding took place at the Isha Foundation's Linga Bhairavi Temple in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
Samantha is believed to have first met Raj during the shoot of Amazon Prime Video's The Family Man 2, where she played a pivotal role. They later collaborated again on the web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, co-starring Varun Dhawan.
Rumours about their relationship gained momentum as the two were frequently spotted together at various events. Earlier this year, when Samantha announced her first step into the world of sports, the photos she shared included Raj.
In another post about embarking on "new beginnings," she shared several images featuring him and wrote, "It's been a long road, but here we are, New beginnings @tralalamovingpictures. (sic)."
Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. They married in 2017 but parted ways in 2021. Naga Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December last year.
