New Delhi: Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru’s love story started from ‘The Family Man’, set to a forever bond. The actress has always kept her personal life guarded, but love has found her again. The actor and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, of the director duo Raj & DK, is reportedly married as of December 1, 2025.
Their love story blossomed quietly, away from the spotlight, starting from a professional bond that gradually turned into a deep emotional connection. From colleagues to companionship, Samantha and Raj met for the first time on the sets of The Family Man 2, which marked Samantha’s Hindi web debut. At that time, she was still married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The two grew close while working together, and after Samantha officially divorced Naga Chaitanya in 2021, their bond deepened.
According to industry insiders, what began as a friendly professional relationship during The Family Man 2 continued on the sets of Citadel: Honey Bunny, where they collaborated again. “They connected over creativity and shared values. It was a gradual and respectful friendship that evolved naturally,” a source close to the team shared. By early 2024, media outlets began reporting that the actress and director were spotted together several times—attending pickleball matches, visiting temples, and even taking short trips.
Though they never posed for photos together, fans were quick to notice their growing closeness. A soft launch on social media in November 2025, Samantha made their relationship “Instagram official” when she shared a photo from her perfume launch featuring Raj beside her. The post, shared on November 7, sparked massive buzz online. “They looked happy and comfortable together,” a fan comment read under the viral post.
Quiet wedding amid whispers December 1, 2025, reports emerged that the couple tied the knot at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family. However, their union wasn’t without controversy. Raj Nidimoru had divorced his wife, Shhyamali De, in 2022. Soon after wedding reports surfaced, Shhyamali posted cryptic quotes on her Instagram story, including one that read, “Desperate people do desperate things.”Despite the whispers, Samantha and Raj’s journey from co-workers to companions proves that love can bloom again, even after heartbreak.
