Amid online chatter questioning whether Raj was still legally married to his former wife Shyyamali De, she took to Instagram to share two emotional stories. Without naming anyone directly, Shyyamali acknowledged the sudden attention and expressed gratitude for the support she had been receiving.
“Thank you for all the kindness – the good wishes, the warm words, and all the blessings," she wrote, adding that she had struggled to sleep as she processed the situation. “I spent a sleepless night, tossing and turning and debating and realised it would be ungrateful and churlish to not acknowledge all the good that is coming to me."
Shyyamali explained that meditation has been central to maintaining her emotional balance. “I have been practising Meditation on Twin Hearts for many years now. Doing the meditation involves blessing Mother Earth and all persons and beings with peace, love forgiveness, hope, light, joy, loving-kindness, goodwill, and the will to do good."

She also addressed how she has been managing the sudden influx of messages and attention on her own. “I have no team, no PR, no staff or associates managing my page. I am personally responding while dealing with something that needs my full presence," she wrote.
Her posts come at a time when both Samantha and Raj have chosen to remain silent on the rumours surrounding their personal lives.
