December 1, 2025 — Telugu superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu has officially embarked on a new chapter in her life, marrying filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a serene and intensely private ceremony this morning. The much-speculated union was confirmed by the actress herself, who shared the first enchanting photos of the newlyweds on her social media, simply captioning the post with the date: “01.12.2025” and a pair of white hearts.
The wedding took place at the revered Linga Bhairavi Temple within the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The spiritual location is known to hold a deep personal significance for Samantha, who has often spoken about her connection with the place.
Breaking away from the traditional high-profile celebrity weddings, the ceremony was an incredibly small affair, with reports suggesting only around 30 close family members and friends were in attendance. This preference for an understated, spiritual celebration over a grand media spectacle speaks volumes about the couple’s desire to keep their personal milestone sacred and intimate.
The first photos shared by Samantha show the couple radiating pure joy. The actress looked breathtakingly beautiful in a traditional red saree, her bridal look complemented by exquisite gold and diamond jewellery, with her hair neatly adorned with flowers. Raj Nidimoru, known as one half of the celebrated filmmaker duo Raj & DK, complemented his bride perfectly in a classic white kurta-pyjama paired with a cream-colored bandhgala jacket.
The ceremony is reported to have included a Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha, a sacred ritual invoking the grace of Devi for the couple’s harmony, prosperity, and spiritual alignment in their journey together. The images capture the sheer happiness and peace surrounding the couple as they performed the rituals, stepping into their life as husband and wife.
The relationship between Samantha, one of the highest-paid and most respected actresses in the South Indian film industry, and Raj Nidimoru, a critically acclaimed director and screenwriter, first sparked public curiosity in early 2024. Their professional association, which began with the blockbuster digital series The Family Man 2, continued through projects like Citadel: Honey Bunny and their upcoming co-production ventures.
Insiders believe their close working dynamic laid the foundation for a deep personal bond, which Samantha gradually acknowledged over the past year by sharing photos with Raj on her social media. Today’s wedding officially confirms the union, marking a beautiful progression from professional collaboration to lifelong companionship.
Fans and the entire film fraternity have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the couple, celebrating their surprise and beautiful wedding. After months of speculation, the pair’s joyful confirmation has delighted well-wishers across the globe, wishing them a lifetime of happiness.
