Samantha Ruth Prabhu is again at the forefront of attention in South India's entertainment industry; however, the focus is not based on a film but rather is based on some personal matters. Recently, many people have been discussing on social media and other platforms whether she will marry filmmaker Raj Nidimoru (who is very well known) on December 1st.

No one including either Samantha or Raj has made any official comments regarding these marriage rumours but due to this endless chatter on both social networks and public forums, it is now more than ever an interesting subject.

Where did the wedding rumours originate?

A post on Reddit that claimed that Raj Nidimoru and Samantha were going to have a private wedding at Shillong on December 1 led many social media users to speculate about the possibility of this wedding being a surprise. Many users referred to it as a secret ceremony. The absence of an invitation, official announcement, and statements from both parties raised even more questions regarding this situation.

Who is Raj Nidimoru?

Raj Nidimoru holds a prominent position as a respected figure within both the Hindi and South Indian film industries. Raj was born in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, but moved to the United States after graduating from engineering school. Raj then co-founded D2R Films with his writing partner, Krishna D.K.

Together, they have produced a number of successful films, including Shor in the City, Gentleman, Stree, and most recently, The Family Man.

The Family Man was also the first time Raj met Samantha when she played a supportive role in the series that was very popular with audiences. During this time, it is believed that their friendship grew into something more, and rumors about their potential relationship began to surface.

Are Samantha and Raj really dating?

Although neither has publicly acknowledged nor denied the speculation regarding their relationship, it was Samantha's Instagram post that began to stir up interest: the image of her embracing Raj in a hug, leading many followers to interpret this as an indication that they were going to be "Instagram official" about their romance.

Afterward, the production announcement of their new project, the film "Maa Inti Bangaram," has added fuel to the fire of those who speculate that they have begun dating.

The combination of professional partnerships as well as increased public appearances has added to the ongoing speculation.

Ex-wife's post: New sparks discussion

The whole internet was trying to find out when Samantha and Raj were officially going to get married; until Raj Nidimoru's ex-wife, Shyamali Dey, posted something that shocked everyone. In her story, she said "Desperate people do desperate things." 

Right after she posted this post with no names mentioned, people were immediately speculating if she was right by saying this based on the rumours of Samantha and Raj getting married. Just a few days before, she had also uploaded one more cryptic message about the "bond of past debts."

 Both items' timing was what led to the increased amount of discussion regarding what Shyamali had posted about; therefore, people could not get enough of the conversation surrounding Samantha and Raj's relationship.

First Marriage and Personal Journey

In 2017, actor Naga Chaitanya and Samantha got married; in 2021 they divorced. This news was very popular throughout the country, keeping their names in the news for quite some time after the divorce.

It took Samantha quite a while to recover from her divorce, both professionally and personally, but today she seems to have rebuilt stronger than before.

In addition to Samantha and Naga, Raj Nidimoru and his former wife Shyamali Dey had also been together for several years, but now are no longer married.

Is the wedding really happening?

The fact is we have not received any type of announcement regarding that information. Neither party has so far expressed themselves formally. There appears to be no positive or negative acknowledgement. Therefore, all the interest in those rumours may stem from the current lack of clarity surrounding this situation.

For those who are inclined to believe in the rumour mill, it appears that the wedding will only consist of immediate family and close friends. A considerable number of people however choose to treat this event as simply “media” hype.

What's the truth?

Until Samantha or Raj make any public statements addressing either of these events, the public will continue to speculate and believe everything they read in social media about them. However, recent news of their divorce has raised many people's interest.

Samantha's fans have been congratulating her and wishing her well on her upcoming adventure, while other fans are still not convinced it is anything but gossip. Today's media and social networking community will be watching as December 21 approaches and see if this story remains just a rumor or if it is true that they are beginning another phase of life together and separately.

For both, this represents a new chapter in their lives and marks the beginning of a more mature partnership following their respective divorces.
