"The wedding happened at the Ling Bhairavi Temple inside Isha Yoga Centre early morning," a source informed the HT City newspaper. With only 30 guests present, the event is rumored to have been purposefully low-key.

The two have been associated professionally since Samantha's digital debut in The Family Man 2 (2021). The critically acclaimed series was directed by Raj, one half of the successful filmmaking team Raj & DK. They continued to work together on Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024) and Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, an upcoming Netflix movie.

 

According to reports, their collaboration improved their rapport with one another and eventually led to a romantic engagement. The recent reports and eyewitness confirmations indicate that Samantha and Raj have actually entered a new chapter together, even if the couple has not yet released an official statement. 

Samantha and Raj Nidimoru ‘previous’ relationship

Actor Naga Chaitanya was Samantha's former husband. After their well-publicised marriage, the pair divorced four years later, and he subsequently wed actor Sobhita Dhulipala. In contrast, Raj Nidimoru was previously wed to Shhyamali De prior to their alleged divorce in 2022.

 

Raj’s ex-wife, Sshyamali De, adding fuel to the speculation, posted a cryptic quote on Instagram that says, “Desperate people do desperate things," catching public attention. The pair had then reportedly finalised their divorce in 2022.
