On Friday, Samantha took to social media to post a candid photograph of herself relaxing on a bed, smiling softly at the camera. Accompanying the image was a handwritten list that reflected her aspirations for 2026.
The note read:

Samantha’s Marriage to Raj Nidimoru
Earlier this month, Samantha surprised fans by announcing her marriage to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. The couple tied the knot on December 1 in an intimate traditional ceremony held at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore, attended by close family members.
Sharing wedding photos online, Samantha kept the caption simple and understated: “🤍 01.12.2025.” The images captured the newlyweds exchanging rings and offering prayers as they began their journey together.
Samantha and Raj are believed to have first met during the filming of The Family Man 2, where Samantha’s performance was widely acclaimed. They later collaborated again on Citadel: Honey Bunny, co-starring Varun Dhawan. Speculation about their relationship grew over time as the two were frequently spotted together at industry events.
Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, whom she wed in 2017. The couple separated in 2021. Naga Chaitanya later married actor Sobhita Dhulipala in December last year. Raj Nidimoru was earlier married to Shhyamali De.
Work Front: What Lies Ahead
Professionally, Samantha continues to expand her creative footprint. She was last seen in Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian spin-off of Amazon Prime Video’s global spy series Citadel.
She is set to reunite with Raj & DK for Rakt Bramhand, a fantasy action series also starring Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi. Additionally, Samantha will headline Bangaram, a film announced on her birthday that holds special significance — it marks her debut as a producer.
A Year of Intentional Growth
As Samantha Ruth Prabhu looks ahead to 2026, her goals reflect a conscious move toward depth over speed and alignment over noise. In an industry often defined by constant momentum, her focus on gratitude, purpose and steady evolution sets a refreshing example.
