Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu just got married to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a private ceremony, sending social media into a frenzy and marking one of the biggest celebrity developments of the year. The wedding, planned in a hush-hush manner, has taken fans by surprise – especially given the couple’s high-profile personal journeys over the past few years.
Speculation about the pair ran rampant last night, when unconfirmed reports about their big plunge made the rounds. To add fuel to the fire, Nidimoru’s ex-wife Shhyamali Dey shared a quote on her Instagram stories which read, “Desperate people do desperate things,” from author Michael Brooks, leading followers to believe that it may have been a subtle slight directed at her ex and that upcoming nuptials might be in the books.
A private ceremony in Coimbatore
The couple got married on Monday morning in the Ling Bhairavi Temple located at the Isha Yoga Centre near Coimbatore, according to HT City. The wedding party was small and the ceremony itself very private, with 30 guests in attendance – presumably only close family and friends. The bride was reported to be garbed in a striking red saree.
Then, Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to Instagram to announce the happy news in a carefully curated carousel which sent fans and well-wishers abuzz with excitement. Captioning the post with the date of the wedding :”🤍01.12.2025🤍” She shared images of the ring exchange, the couple’s glamorous wedding outfits – confirming that she was indeed wearing a red saree paired with dazzling and ornate gold jewellery and a full picture of them post-ceremony.
Wishes poured in from every corner of the interest by colleagues and followers alike. Prabhu and Nidimoru were rumoured to be seeing each other since late 2024, with Prabhu posting him on her Instagram, but never publicly confirming the relationship. Now with the hardest of launches, she has presented to the world – her life partner.
