On Samantha–Raj’s wedding day, Naga Chaitanya’s anniversary post flooded with ‘you lost diamond’ comments

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru sealed their relationship in an intimate, traditional ceremony on Monday (December 1), officially ending weeks of rumours and speculation. The actress confirmed the marriage through a calm, understated Instagram post that offered a glimpse into the serene rituals, the quiet joy on her face, and the warmth of a carefully curated temple wedding.

As social media erupted with congratulatory messages for the newlyweds, a surprising parallel moment unfolded online.

Naga Chaitanya, Samantha’s former husband, shared a post celebrating two years of his Amazon Prime Video series Dhootha.

The actor wrote, “#dhootha is a show that proved that if as an actor you make a choice based in creativity and honesty and you give it your best shot ... people will connect. They will receive and give you back that energy. Thank you! 2 years of dhootha! Love to the team that made this happen.”

Chaitanya’s intention was simple: acknowledge a milestone. But the timing aligned perfectly with Samantha’s wedding day, and the comments section veered in a very different direction.

Scores of users flooded the post with remarks like “You lost diamond,” along with tags “informing” him about the wedding. The trolling came fast, but so did the counter-current of support. Loyal fans pushed back against the negativity, with one writing, “To the people who are saying without Sam you are nothing... Samantha herself said that without his support she can’t sustain in the industry in the initial days of her career.” Others kept the focus on Dhootha, praising Chaitanya’s work and calling the show one of his sharpest performances.

Meanwhile, Samantha’s wedding post told a quieter story. Dressed in a red silk saree with intricate gold detailing, she paired her look with traditional jewellery, gajra, mehendi, and a glow that matched the softness of the ceremony. Raj kept things understated in a white kurta-pyjama and cream Nehru jacket. The pictures, captioned simply “01.12.2025”, showed the couple exchanging rings and offering prayers at the Linga Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore.

Samantha is believed to have first met Raj Nidimoru during the making of The Family Man 2, which became a turning point in her career. Their professional rapport strengthened through Citadel: Honey Bunny. Over the past year, sightings, shared photos and cryptic captions like “It’s been a long road, but here we are” hinted at a developing relationship.

Samantha was previously married to Naga Chaitanya from 2017 to 2021. Chaitanya went on to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024. Samantha’s new chapter with Raj marks her second marriage, and judging by her post, she is stepping into it with a calm certainty.
