Samantha Ruth Prabhu & Raj Nidimoru Wedding: Official Pics & The Ex-Wife’s ‘Desperate’ Dig That’s Breaking the Internet

Okay, stop literally everything you are doing because the "Tea" we have all been sipping just boiled over. Besties, it finally happened. After months of "Are they? Aren't they?" and living Rent Free in our heads, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru (yes, the Family Man genius) have officially tied the knot! The internet is absolutely screaming right now because not only did we get the dreamiest spiritual wedding pics, but Raj’s ex-wife, Shhyamali De, just dropped a cryptic story that is giving major "Main Character Energy." Grab your popcorn, because we are breaking down the shaadi, the style, and the shade.

The Wedding: Spiritual "Bhuta Shuddhi" Vibes 🧘‍♀️

Forget the loud celebrity tamasha Sam and Raj went full "Zen Mode" for their big day.

• The Venue: The couple got married at the Linga Bhairavi Temple at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. If you know Sam, you know she’s a huge devotee of Sadhguru, so this track checks out perfectly.

• The Aesthetics: It wasn't your typical Bollywood rager. Reports state it was a "Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha" (very earthy, very spiritual) with only about 30 guests. Literally just the inner circle.

• The Fits: Samantha stunned in a traditional Red Saree with heavy gold jewelry (classic South Indian bride vibes), while Raj kept it simple in a white kurta and beige Nehru jacket.

• The Announcement: Sam dropped the pics on Instagram with the caption "01.12.2025". Short. Sweet. Internet-breaking.

The Tea: Shhyamali De’s Cryptic "Reaction"

Now, here is where the internet detectives are losing their minds. While we were swooning over the wedding pics, Raj’s ex-wife, Shhyamali De, posted something on her Instagram Stories that has everyone whispering.

• The Post: She shared a quote that read: "Desperate people do desperate things."

• The Timing: She didn't name names (obviously), but posting this on the exact day of the wedding? That is some serious shade. The timing is giving "I have thoughts, but I'll let the universe speak."

• Who is Shhyamali De? For those asking "Who?", she’s an industry insider too! She’s a Creative Director and Assistant Director who worked on cult classics like Rang De Basanti and Omkara. She and Raj were married from 2015 to 2022.

The Love Timeline: From 'Family Man' to 'Husband & Wife'

This romance has been brewing since the sets of The Family Man Season 2 (2021).

• The Spark: Rumors started swirling seriously in early 2024. We spotted them at temples, Pickleball leagues, and low-key dinners, but they never confirmed it until now.

• Second Chances: This is a second innings for both. Samantha was previously married to Naga Chaitanya (who, btw, just married Sobhita Dhulipala—talk about a crazy wedding season!), and Raj was married to Shhyamali.

• The Verdict: Despite the drama, fans are living for this pairing. It’s the ultimate "Director x Muse" trope come to life.
