Love stories in the film world often unfold under the sharp gaze of the public but every now and then, a tale chooses silence over spectacle. The latest whispers surrounding Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru seem to belong to that quieter kind. What began as gentle speculation over their closeness has now taken a dramatic turn with reports claiming that the two may have exchanged vows in a private ceremony this week. Though the couple has not confirmed anything, the buzz refuses to settle.
According to a leading publication, Samantha and Raj reportedly married on Monday morning in an intimate gathering attended only by close friends and family. A source mentioned that the ceremony took place inside the Ling Bhairavi Temple at the Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, keeping everything minimal and deeply personal. With only about 30 guests present, the affair was intentionally low-key. Samantha was said to have worn a traditional red saree, choosing a classic bridal look that matched the simplicity of the moment.
Rumours began swirling late Sunday night and spread rapidly across social media, with fans and followers trying to piece together clues. What added more intrigue was a cryptic message shared by Raj’s ex-wife, Sshyamali De. Her post “Desperate people do desperate things” caught public attention and intensified discussions online. She and Raj had reportedly finalised their divorce in 2022.
Samantha and Raj’s names first appeared together in the rumour mill in early 2024, when industry insiders began hinting at their growing bond. Over time, Samantha’s social media posts featuring Raj made their closeness more visible, prompting fans to wonder if something deeper was unfolding. Their professional connection stretches back to The Family Man 2, Samantha’s OTT debut, which Raj co-directed. The two continued working together on Citadel: Honey Bunny and are also part of the upcoming Netflix project Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. Their consistent collaboration reportedly helped strengthen their personal rapport, leading to a relationship.
Both Samantha and Raj have had previous marriages. Samantha separated from actor Naga Chaitanya after four years and he later married actor Sobhita Dhulipala. Raj’s earlier marriage to Shhyamali De ended with their reported divorce.
Though neither Samantha nor Raj has issued an official statement about the wedding, the reports and eyewitness accounts have created plenty of conversation. Whether the whispers are the beginning of a confirmed love story or simply another tide in the rumour mill, only time and the couple can reveal.
