Samantha Ruth Prabhu has officially confirmed her marriage to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, ending weeks of speculation that had quietly circulated across the industry and social media. The actress shared the joyous news through a beautifully curated Instagram carousel, captioned simply with the date of their wedding: “🤍01.12.2025🤍”.

The ceremony took place on Monday morning at the Ling Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, according to reports by HT City. Held in utmost privacy, the wedding was attended by only 30 close friends and family members, making it one of the most intimate yet high-profile unions of the year.

In the images shared online, Samantha can be seen in a striking red saree paired with ornate gold jewellery, while Raj Nidimoru opted for traditional attire that matched the understated yet elegant tone of the ceremony. The couple also shared glimpses of the ring exchange and a full post-ceremony portrait, confirming the happy news that fans had eagerly been waiting for.

The wedding follows a wave of speculation that intensified after unconfirmed reports circulated the night before. Adding to the curiosity, Nidimoru’s ex-wife Shhyamali Dey had posted a cryptic quote on Instagram — “Desperate people do desperate things” — sparking online chatter.

Nonetheless, Samantha and Raj’s union marks a new chapter for both, celebrated warmly by fans, industry peers, and well-wishers across the world.

Devotion Beyond the Screen: Fan Honors 50 Years of Superstar Rajinikanth with 5,500 Photos & Temple Rituals

Madurai, August 2025 — In a tribute that blends cinema with sacred devotion, a passionate fan of Superstar Rajinikanth has celebrated the legendary actor’s 50th year in the film industry in a truly unforgettable way.

Karthik, a long-time admirer, marked this cinematic milestone by decorating the Arulmigu Sri Rajini Temple in Madurai with over 5,500 photographs of Rajinikanth. The fan performed an abhishekam (ritual bathing) on the temple’s 300-kg idol of the actor, transforming the temple into a vibrant celebration of the star’s journey that began in 1975.

The temple, inaugurated just a few years ago, was built as a symbol of the powerful connection between Rajinikanth and his fans. This celebration marks a golden chapter, not only in his career but also in the lives of those who idolize him.

The fan and his family offered prayers and performed traditional rituals to honour the superstar’s golden jubilee in cinema. The walls were adorned with photographs tracing Rajinikanth’s remarkable five-decade journey — from his debut in Apoorva Raagangal, directed by K. Balachander, to his blockbuster hits like Sivaji: The Boss, Enthiran (Robot), 2.0, Jailer, and more.

Speaking to local media, Karthik said the temple and tribute are a token of love from generations of fans who grew up watching Rajinikanth on the big screen.

Now 74, Rajinikanth remains a towering figure in Indian cinema. His signature style, punch dialogues, and unique screen presence have made him one of the most adored actors not just in Tamil Nadu but across the world.

Rajinikanth was last seen in Vettaiyan, a film directed by T. J. Gnanavel and featuring an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati.

Up next, the superstar will headline ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, slated for release on August 14, 2025. The film will see him sharing screen space with Upendra, Aamir Khan, and Nagarjuna Akkineni — yet another feather in the cap of this living legend.

As Rajinikanth steps into the 51st year of his illustrious career, tributes like these remind us of the profound impact he’s had — not just as a cinematic icon but as a cultural and emotional force in the hearts of millions.
