Popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently tied the knot with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1, 2025, in Coimbatore. She shared some beautiful pictures from her traditional Hindu wedding ceremony held with just 30 guests. She looked ethereal in a red saree, and her pictures are going viral on the internet. Besides this, her wedding rituals also created a lot of buzz around their religious connotations, and here’s a full decode for you.
About Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raj Nidimoru’s Wedding
Samantha Ruth Prabhu has reportedly converted to Hinduism after being raised as a Christian, as reported by Great Andhra. Though she has not released any statements about this alleged formal conversation, her actions and lifestyle reportedly reflect a strong commitment to Hindu practices. Her first marriage to Naga Chaitanya in 2017 featured two distinct ceremonies, including Christian and Hindu traditions, but this time, she stuck to the latter one.
As per reports, their wedding was exclusively Hindu-style, held at Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation. Fan said that Prabhu’s alleged spiritual conversion from Christianity to Hinduism happened after her divorce in 2021 and her health battle with myositis. After this, she was often seen visiting temples, performing rituals, and sharing pictures of her puja room featuring Hindu deities, notably a prominent Linga Bhairavi idol from the Isha Foundation.
Some sources also reveal that Samantha has been a long-time follower of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudeva and the practices of Isha Yoga. It also explains why she chose the centre as the setting for her wedding to Raj Nidimoru, who is eight years older. Because the pair skipped a Christian-style wedding and Samantha displayed characteristics of Hinduism, admirers believe she secretly converted to her husband’s religion.
