With Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru’s wedding photos came a flurry of speculation—about their relationship, Raj’s ex-wife Shhyamali, and even rumours that he might not be divorced. Amid the noise, Raj’s sister Sheetal shared a subtle yet powerful message celebrating the union and the peace it has brought to their family. Sheetal posted a family portrait from the wedding on Instagram, featuring herself, their parents, her sons, and the newly married couple.

Alongside the picture, she wrote: “While praying to Shiva in the Chandrakund today… soaked, shivering, during the pradoṣha time, I found myself embracing the Shivalingam with a heart full of tears.”
She clarified that these were “not tears of pain… but tears of gratitude.”
Explaining further, she wrote: “Gratitude for the peace I feel in this moment, for the clarity that has settled around our family, and for the deep sense of ‘gentle alignment’ in Raj and Samantha’s journey.”
Addressing the surrounding rumours without naming anyone directly, Sheetal added: “As a family we feel so proud of how they are walking forward… with calm, dignity, honesty, and a steadiness that only comes when two hearts choose the same path with intention. And as a family, we stand by them together, fully, joyfully, and without hesitation—blessing them and supporting them in every way.”
She concluded her note with a reflection on the sacred day: “Doing these Isha rituals together as a family on such a sacred day felt like life aligning itself in the most beautiful way. It reminded me that some relationships don’t just happen… they arrive with peace. As I light the sesame oil lamps, my heart prayed for only one thing: May everyone find a love that feels this peaceful, this steady, and this right.”

Reports had been circulating since Sunday night that Samantha would marry filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1 at the Isha Foundation. The speculation proved accurate when Samantha herself shared a series of photos from their simple yet divine ceremony at the Linga Bhairava Temple inside the foundation. The couple were seen performing rituals and exchanging rings before Linga Bhairava.
More chatter began when Raj’s ex-wife—known for her cryptic posts—shared an image of the universe with an arrow pointing to a tiny speck reading, “We live here!” Many interpreted it as a reaction to the wedding. However, reports indicate that Raj and his former wife parted ways in 2022.
Samantha, too, has moved forward from her previous marriage to actor Naga Chaitanya; the couple separated in 2021 after four years together. Naga is now married to actor Sobhita Dhulipala.
Samantha and Raj first collaborated in 2021 for the Prime Video series The Family Man followed by Citadel: Honey Bunny.
