South Indian actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru were married in a private ceremony at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore on Monday, the couple confirmed by sharing selected pictures on social media.
The ceremony took place at the Linga Bhairavi temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre and was reportedly conducted as a Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha — a traditional ritual intended to sanctify the five elements and seek blessings for the couple’s union. The event was intentionally low-key, with reports indicating only close family and a small circle of friends attended.
Samantha posted photographs from the ceremony on her verified social handle, offering fans a glimpse of the couple’s D-day. In the images, Samantha appears in a red silk saree with classic bridal jewellery and gajra, while Raj chose an understated white kurta-pyjama paired with a cream Nehru jacket. The visuals quickly circulated across entertainment portals and social platforms.
The bride’s ring and jewellery caught particular attention online. Fashion and jewellery analysts pointed out the ring’s sizable centre stone and a minimalist mangalsutra-style necklace visible in some photos, details that prompted saturation coverage from lifestyle desks. The bridal look has since set off conversations about bridal styling and sustainable wardrobe choices in the industry.

As with any breaking celebrity news, official statements and verified social posts from the principals involved remain the primary sources for confirmation; multiple reputed outlets reported the ceremony based on the couple’s social posts and confirmations from those present.
