Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu got married on December 1 at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. The couple had a quiet ceremony at the Linga Bhairavi temple at the centre. A day after the wedding, Raj's ex-wife Shhyamali De made her first post on Instagram.
Shhyamali De often shares cryptic posts on Instagram. However, her post in the wake of her ex-husband's wedding has people talking. She took to Instagram Stories and shared a picture of the galaxy. She edited the picture to place an arrow pointing into the universe and wrote, "We live here." Netizens feel it is a subtle response to the chatter around her ex-husband's second marriage, hinting at the insignificance of these situations in the larger scheme of the universe.
On Sunday, ahead of the wedding, the writer-healer had posted on her Instagram Stories, "Desperate people do desperate things." The post quickly gained traction, with many wondering whom it was aimed at.
Raj Nidimoru and Shhyamali De tied the knot in 2015 in a traditional ceremony. Reportedly, the couple divorced in 2022, though there is no confirmation. Shhyamali's last post with and for Raj was on Valentine's Day 2023, where she expressed her love for the filmmaker.
For the unaware, Samantha is believed to have first met Raj during the shoot of the Amazon Prime Video series The Family Man 2, in which she played a powerful role. The two collaborated once again for the web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, co-starring Varun Dhawan. Rumours of Samantha and Raj being in a relationship began circulating as they were seen together at several events.
Earlier this year, Samantha posted about her first step into the world of sports, and the photos she shared also included Raj.
Another post by Samantha talked about new beginnings. Sharing a series of photos -- again featuring Raj -- she wrote, "It's been a long road, but here we are. New beginnings tralalamovingpictures. (sic)"
For the unversed, Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The two tied the knot in 2017 in a grand ceremony but separated in 2021. Naga Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December last year.
