The buzz in the entertainment world refuses to settle as speculation swirls around actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. Though neither of them has publicly addressed these rumours, their growing presence in each other's lives—through social media posts and public appearances—has sparked intense curiosity. While fans wonder if a new romance is blossoming, the spotlight has inadvertently turned to Raj's former partner, Shhyamali De, stirring renewed interest in their shared past.
Unveiling the Woman Behind the Director: Who Is Shhyamali De?
According to a Pinkvilla report, Raj Nidimoru and Shhyamali De were married in 2015 and went their separate ways in 2022. Shhyamali is far from a stranger to the film industry. With a degree in psychology, she has carved out her own creative path. She’s worked as an assistant director under cinematic giants such as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Vishal Bhardwaj. Her work also extends to scriptwriting and consulting—she’s credited with contributions to critically acclaimed films like Rang De Basanti, Omkara, and Ek Nodir Golpo.
As per her LinkedIn profile, she isban alumna of University Of Mumbai.
Raj himself once acknowledged her creative influence during their marriage, revealing in a past interview with Deccan Chronicle that Shhyamali was instrumental in casting decisions. “She’s from outside the film world,” he said, “and that keeps us grounded.”
A Digital Window Into a Former Love
Shhyamali maintains a public Instagram profile, where glimpses of her personality and past life with Raj still linger. With nearly 2,900 followers, her account is a blend of introspective thoughts and moments frozen in time. Her bio reads like a mantra of compassion and self-awareness: “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may my life contribute to that joy.” The feed paints a picture of a relationship once filled with deep affection. Even after their separation, she shared emotional tributes to Raj on occasions like anniversaries and Valentine’s Day—reminders that their bond, though altered, held meaning.
The Samantha Speculation: A Closer Look
Talk of Raj Nidimoru’s romantic ties with Samantha Ruth Prabhu gained momentum when she posted a carousel of photos on Instagram. One particular image raised eyebrows—an in-flight selfie in which Samantha rested her head on Raj’s shoulder. The photo, gentle yet intimate, sent fans into a frenzy. Could this be Samantha’s subtle way of going public with their bond?
So far, neither of them has confirmed or denied the relationship, choosing to stay silent while speculation brews. Yet, fans remain captivated.
Past Work and Possible Futures
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru share a strong professional rapport, having worked together on The Family Man and the upcoming project Citadel: Honey Bunny. Raj, one half of the dynamic director duo Raj & DK (along with Krishna D.K.), is known for creating bold, genre-defying content. Their credits include Farzi, Guns & Gulaabs, and Go Goa Gone, each pushing boundaries of storytelling in Indian cinema.
