Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru appear to be easing into married life with quiet confidence.

A month after tying the knot on December 1, 2025, the couple were recently spotted together at the Hyderabad airport, offering fans a rare, understated glimpse into their new chapter.

The sighting quickly caught attention, not for any grand gesture, but for its simplicity. Samantha Ruth Prabhu stepped out in an all-black outfit, paired with a sleek belt and minimal styling.

What stood out most was her mangalsutra, which she wore naturally as she walked alongside her husband.

It was a small detail, but one that spoke volumes about her comfort and calm in this phase of life. Raj Nidimoru, meanwhile, kept things casual in a brown shirt and blue jeans, his sunglasses tucked into his shirt as the two exited the airport together.

Their relationship has been a quietly unfolding story over the past few years.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru reportedly grew close while working on Citadel: Honey Bunny, and were later seen together on multiple occasions, from travel trips to private celebrations.

Despite frequent public sightings, both chose to keep their relationship away from official statements, allowing actions rather than announcements to define their bond.

True to that approach, their wedding was an intimate affair with just 30 close guests in attendance. After the ceremony, Samantha shared a few wedding photographs on social media, offering fans a warm but restrained look at the celebration.

The couple later travelled to Lisbon for their honeymoon, where Samantha posted glimpses of relaxed walks, scenic views and shared moments that reflected a sense of peace rather than spectacle.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s personal journey has often unfolded under public scrutiny. She was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, whom she wed in 2017 after years of friendship and collaboration.

The two announced their separation in 2021, with the divorce finalised later. Naga Chaitanya went on to marry Sobhita Dhulipala in 2024.

Professionally, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is stepping into a busy and promising phase. She is set to return to Telugu cinema with Maa Inti Bangaram, directed by BV Nandini Reddy and based on a concept by Raj Nidimoru, with Gulshan Devaiah playing a key role. She also has the web series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom in the pipeline.
