Who Is Shhyamali De? Everything About Raj Nidimoru’s Wife Amid Samantha Ruth Prabhu Dating Rumours
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru spark dating rumours after sharing cozy photos. Spotlight shifts to Raj’s wife, Shhyamali De, amid speculation.
Southern star Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of the popular Raj & DK duo have become the center of public discussion lately — especially following their recent public appearances and photos together. While neither Samantha nor Raj has addressed the rumors directly, their frequent outings and social media posts have fueled intense speculation about a possible relationship.
While Samantha has been divorced for a while now, much of the current spotlight has shifted to Raj's personal life — particularly because he is still married to Shhyamali De.
Who is Raj Nidimoru’s Wife, Shhyamali De?
According to reports, Raj and Shhyamali De tied the knot in 2015 and have a daughter together. Shhyamali also works in the film industry, primarily as an assistant director, and has collaborated with acclaimed filmmakers like Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Vishal Bhardwaj.
She has also worked as a scriptwriter and served as a creative consultant on critically acclaimed films such as Rang De Basanti, Omkara, and Ek Nodir Golpo. In an earlier interview with Deccan Chronicle, Raj praised his wife’s influence on his creative process, especially when it came to casting, "Shhyamali De, my wife, constantly advises me about casting. She comes from a non-filmy background, so she always keeps us grounded."
Shhyamali is also a psychology graduate, which further adds depth to her perspective within the industry.
Shhyamali’s Cryptic Instagram Post Amid Rumors
Amid the growing speculation around Samantha and Raj’s rumored relationship, a recent Instagram story posted by Shhyamali has drawn attention. Her post read:
“I send blessings and love to everyone who thinks of me, sees me, hears me, hears of me, speaks to me, speaks of me, reads of me, writes of me, and meets me today.”
While she did not name anyone directly, the timing of the post raised eyebrows — particularly because it was shared on the same day Samantha posted a selfie from an airplane with Raj.
Are Samantha & Raj Making It Official?
Fans were quick to speculate that Samantha’s affectionate snap with Raj might be her way of making their relationship public. The photograph, which radiated warmth and closeness, has led many to wonder whether this was a soft confirmation of the rumors.
Neither party has made an official statement yet, but the internet continues to buzz with opinions and theories about the nature of their bond.
