The Professional Journey That Led to Marriage

Their professional relationship deepened when they worked together again on the series "Citadel: Honey Bunny," starring Varun Dhawan.
This professional connection gradually blossomed into a personal relationship, culminating in the quiet, family-focused wedding ceremony in Coimbatore.

The entire episode highlights the strong familial support system welcoming Samantha, marking a joyful new beginning for the actor and her filmmaker husband.
