South Indian superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu has sent the internet into a delightful frenzy by sharing intimate glimpses of her honeymoon with filmmaker husband Raj Nidimoru. The actress, who tied the knot with Raj in a private ceremony in Coimbatore on December 1, 2025, posted a series of joyful pictures from their trip to Lisbon, Portugal, on her Instagram.
A Visual Diary of Lisbon Love
The charming photo series offers a peek into the couple's relaxed and happy post-wedding vacation. One frame captures Samantha beaming with pure joy directly at the camera, while another shows Raj with a wide, happy smile as he admires a chocolate donut. The collection includes a serene shot of Samantha in prayer inside a church and a thoughtful back-view of her gazing down a picturesque Portuguese road.
Embracing the quintessential tourist experience, Samantha is seen exploring the city in a cozy pink beanie, enjoying a quiet moment at a local cafe in a black beanie, and basking in the sun on a beautiful beach. The post also features several iconic landmarks of Lisbon, painting a perfect picture of their romantic getaway. She captioned the wholesome set of images simply: "How December goes."
Addressing Speculation with Family Grace
The wedding announcement earlier this month, while celebrated by millions of fans, also sparked online speculation regarding Raj Nidimoru's previous marriage to Shyamali. Amidst the chatter, Raj's sister, Sheetal, took to Instagram to share a beautiful family portrait from the wedding day. The photo featured herself, their parents, her sons, and the newlyweds.
In her caption, Sheetal directly addressed the rumours, clarifying that the tears visible in the photo were not of sorrow but of profound gratitude. "Not tears of pain… but tears of gratitude," she wrote. She elaborated, expressing thankfulness for the peace felt by the family, the clarity surrounding their situation, and the "deep sense of 'gentle alignment' in Raj and Samantha’s journey."
From Co-Stars to Life Partners
The couple's relationship reportedly blossomed on set. Samantha and Raj first collaborated on the hit Amazon Prime Video series 'The Family Man 2', which Raj co-created and directed with his partner Krishna D.K. They worked together again on the series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny'.
This marks Samantha's second marriage; she was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple separated in 2021 after four years of marriage. Naga Chaitanya has since married actor Sobhita Dhulipala. Raj Nidimoru, one-half of the celebrated filmmaking duo Raj & DK, is known for hits like 'The Family Man' and 'Go Goa Gone'.
The actress's social media post has been flooded with love and blessings from fans and colleagues, all celebrating the couple's newfound happiness and their picturesque Portuguese escape.
