Amid Raj Nidimoru, Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding, filmmaker’s ex-wife drops cryptic post, ‘Desperate people…’

Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding has taken the internet by surprise, but a cryptic post shared by the filmmaker’s ex-wife has sparked fresh curiosity.

On December 1, 2025, South‑Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru officially exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at the Ling Bhairavi Temple inside Sadhguru’s Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore. The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram, posting pictures that captured the simple yet elegant wedding vibe. Samantha dazzled in a red saree with gold detailing, while Raj complemented her in a white kurta paired with a beige Nehru jacket. The event was kept low‑key, with only about 30 close friends and family attending.

The cryptic post of Raj Nidimoru’s ex-wife

Following Samantha’s post, her fans and followers noticed a cryptic Instagram story from Raj Nidimoru’s ex‑wife, Shhyamali De. The short line, “Desperate people do desperate things,” appeared late Sunday night, just hours before the official wedding confirmation. Although Shhyamali didn’t name anyone, netizens quickly linked the message to the newlywed couple, adding a brief wave of speculation across social media platforms. Both Samantha and Raj have kept silent about the note, focusing instead on sharing photos and thanking well‑wishers.
