With the mystery finally lifted, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru have stepped into public view as Indian cinema’s newest power couple. The two got married on December 1 in a deeply spiritual Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony held at the Linga Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. Their wedding photos, posted by Samantha with the understated caption “01.12.2025” flanked by two white heart emojis, quickly went viral all across social media. At a time when celebrity weddings are synonymous with extravagance, their minimal and intensely personal celebration struck a refreshing chord.
Samantha has long been one of the biggest stars in South Indian cinema, and her financial success mirrors her widespread popularity. For 2025, her net worth is estimated to be between Rs 100 crore and Rs 110 crore. The bulk of her wealth continues to come from her prolific film career across the Tamil and Telugu industries, where she remains among the highest-paid actors, often reportedly commanding fees in the range of Rs 3 crore to Rs 5 crore per film. Her recent foray into the international space with the series Citadel: Honey Bunny further boosted her earnings, with reports suggesting she was paid close to Rs 10 crore for the role.

Raj Nidimoru, best known as one half of the celebrated writer-director-producer duo Raj & DK, brings his own formidable legacy to this partnership. His net worth for 2025 is estimated to be between Rs 85 crore and Rs 89 crore. Much of this stems from the immense success of his creative collaborations with Krishna DK. Together, the duo has built some of India’s most influential streaming and film properties, including The Family Man, Farzi, Guns & Gulaabs, Go Goa Gone, Shor in the City, A Gentleman, and Happy Ending.
Raj’s financial growth extends well beyond directorial or writing fees. His profit-sharing arrangements and back-end deals across multiple mediums continue to generate returns long after the projects’ releases.
With several international collaborations and global co-productions currently in motion, industry forecasts expect his personal net worth to inch closer to the Rs 100-crore mark in the coming years.
Together, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru create a partnership anchored in art, status, and significant financial clout. Their combined net worth is currently estimated at approximately Rs 195 crore to Rs 200 crore, a figure that positions them among the most successful couples in Indian entertainment, though the numbers are yet to be independently verified.
The newlyweds were a vision in traditional Indian wedding attire. Raj kept things classic in a Tarun Tahiliani chevron-patterned quilted bundi, paired with a handwoven silk kurta and classic churidar.
Samantha, meanwhile, leaned into regal bridal elegance. She wore a rich red-and-gold saree woven with heritage motifs by Arpita Mehta – the quintessential bridal palette symbolizing prosperity and love. Her blouse, created in collaboration with Jayati Bose and inspired by the Tree of Life, featured the Devi’s third eye – protective, symbolic, and utterly perfect.
Her hair was styled traditionally, adorned with fresh jasmine, lending a sweet floral grace to her glowing look. In the pictures, the couple can also be seen performing rituals, offering aarti, kneeling together in prayer, and walking hand-in-hand through a floral-lined entryway, their smiles wide and unmistakably joyful.

The two are believed to have first bonded while working together on The Family Man 2, where Samantha delivered one of her most notable performances. They crossed paths again during the making of Citadel: Honey Bunny. Despite mixed reception to the show, it seems the professional collaboration deepened into something more personal.
Samantha’s social media posts over the past year also hinted that their relationship had evolved beyond colleagues. From casual hangouts to cosy group photos, Raj was a frequent presence. In one post that now feels telling, Samantha captioned a picture series: “It’s been a long road, but here we are. New beginnings @tralalamovingpictures,” with Raj warmly included in the visual storyline.
Their wedding may have been understated, but the union of Samantha and Raj has already become one of the most discussed moments of 2025.
With their individual bodies of work expanding across cinema, streaming, endorsements, and global ventures, this partnership is poised to only grow stronger. As their careers continue to evolve, so will their influence, making this newly married duo one to watch in the years ahead.
