On 1st December 2025, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru tied the knot in a serene, private ceremony. Instead of the usual grand celebrity wedding, they chose an intimate and spiritual setting at the Linga Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. Only about 30 close friends and family members attended, keeping the celebration peaceful and low‑key.
The ritual they performed, called Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha, is deeply spiritual. It’s a ceremony that focuses on the purification of the five elements — earth, water, fire, air, and space — symbolizing a union that goes beyond just the social or traditional aspects of marriage. It’s about connection, balance, and a kind of elemental harmony.
Samantha looked radiant in a traditional red silk saree with gold jewellery, her hair adorned with fresh flowers. Her makeup was subtle, reflecting the calm, sacred surroundings. She also wore a striking, bold wedding ring that caught a lot of attention online. Raj kept it simple with a white kurta-pyjama and a beige Nehru jacket, perfectly matching the understated elegance of the ceremony.
The couple shared a few photos on Instagram to confirm the news, showing them exchanging rings, offering prayers, and walking through flower-decorated arches. Fans immediately showered them with love and congratulatory messages.
Their choice for a private, spiritual wedding seems intentional — a peaceful moment away from media frenzy, emphasizing love, new beginnings, and spiritual connection rather than glamour and spectacle.
Rumours about their closeness have been floating for a while (since around 2024), as they were seen together at events and on social media. But the couple never publicly confirmed anything — until now.
Professional link: Raj is known for being the co‑director of the hit series The Family Man (among others); Samantha has worked in several films. Their collaboration gradually turned into a deeper bond, according to media.
Both have had previous marriages. For Samantha, this is her second marriage (she was earlier married to another actor); for Raj too, this is his second attempt. This gives the sense that they might value a quieter, more personal start this time — and that mood shows clearly in how the wedding was handled.
