Samantha's marriage; Raj Nidimoru's former wife Shhyamali drops cryptic post on Instagram

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced her marriage to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on Monday. Both married for the second time, ending the rumours that had been in place for a long time.

Amidst the headlines of marriage, Nidimoru’s former wife, Shhyamali De, shared a story on Instagram, “Desperate people do desperate things,” originally by Michael Brooks. Netizens were quick to connect the dots. The story seems to be deleted from the page.

Shhyamali, after completing her degree in psychology, worked in the movie industry as an assistant director and creative consultant. She has worked with renowned names like Rakesh Omprakash Mehra and Vishal Bhardwaj in the past.

After seven years of marriage, Raj and Shhyamali separated in 2022. Raj Nidimoru is the creator behind the superhit series The Family Man.
