The wedding of popular Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru has become a global talking point, not just for its serene setting at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore on December 1, but for a particularly star-studded well-wisher. Among the flood of congratulatory messages, a heartfelt note from international football icon David Beckham captured the imagination of fans worldwide.
A Global Icon's Sweet Gesture
Samantha announced her marriage on Monday via Instagram, sharing intimate and peaceful moments from the ceremony. As celebrities from Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt to Varun Dhawan and Ananya Panday poured love into the comments, Beckham's simple yet warm message—"Congratulations to you both"—tagging the bride, stood out. A visibly touched Samantha replied, "Really sweet of you Thank you so much!" This interaction reminded fans of their recent meeting in Mumbai, where both attended a Meta India event as UNICEF ambassadors. Samantha had later praised Beckham, calling him a "great father and husband."
The Engagement Ring Theory That Has Fans Buzzing
Soon after the wedding pictures were released, eagle-eyed fans began a digital deep dive into Samantha's past social media posts. A fascinating theory quickly gained traction online. Followers pointed out that the actress had been spotted wearing what appears to be the same ring in photos dating back to February, long before the wedding announcement.
Social media platforms, especially Reddit, lit up with speculation. One user noted, "Sam was already wearing the ring in her February photo," while another commented, "They must have gotten engaged then." A popular observation was, "Ya most of her posts since then have that ring on her hand… It’s just that people never thought it was an engagement ring until today lol." This discovery has sent fans on a nostalgic journey, re-examining old posts to piece together the couple's secret engagement timeline, adding a new layer of excitement to their love story.
