Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a South Indian actress, has revealed her marriage to Raj Nidimoru, a filmmaker, after months of speculation. The first images from their wedding were shared on Instagram on December 2nd, 2025. It was at the tranquil surroundings of the Linga Bhairavi Devi Temple at the Isha yoga centre of Sadhguru in Coimbatore. The wedding was held in a private setting, with only family and close friends in attendance. It was meant to represent the gentle, spiritual start to their married lives. Therefore, it has quickly become one of the most talked about stories in the Bollywood news latest.
Following a Time-Honored Tradition
Their wedding took place under the time-honoured Indian tradition of Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha. It symbolizes the unity of two people through the five natural elements of creation (earth, water, fire, air, and space). Also, the purification of these elements before wedding ceremonies. The Isha Centre indicates that the purpose of this ceremony is to establish an eternal bond between two partners. This will establish a deeper connection that is at least as strong as both the physical and emotional connections that are typical in marriage. The ceremony invokes the grace of Devi. Also, it is meant to purify the five elements of the individuals involved and create a harmonious balance of abundance and spiritual balance for the couple after marriage.
The ceremony took place at the holy Linga Bhairavi Devi Temple. It was characterized by serenity, authenticity, and a deep spiritual aspect.

It was followed by Citadel: Honey Bunny (with Varun Dhawan). Therefore, it has been easy to imagine that their professional interaction has brought these two partners together.

Both Samantha and Raj have worked hard to rebuild their own lives and now, fans and celebrities are celebrating their joy.
A Soulful Starting Point for a New Adventure
