Days after Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru tied the knot at the Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, the internet has continued to show keen interest in the reactions of Raj’s former spouse, Shhyamali De. While she did not directly comment on the wedding, her cryptic posts before and after the ceremony had revived speculation among followers. Now, Shhyamali has posted a lengthy, heartfelt message on social media, addressing the support she has received and the personal challenges she is currently facing.
Shhyamali De breaks silence with gratitude-filled note
In a series of Instagram stories posted on Thursday, Shhyamali De shared an emotional message expressing her gratitude for the good wishes sent her way in what she described as a “difficult time”. She revealed that she had been dealing with grief after learning that her Jyotish guru had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer—a development that, she said, demanded her full emotional presence.
Shhyamali began her note by writing, “I spent a sleepless night tossing and turning, debating, and realised it would be ungrateful and churlish not to acknowledge all the good that is coming to me.” She added that she had been practising Meditation on Twin Hearts for years, which involves sending blessings of peace, forgiveness, joy, and goodwill to the world. She said the positivity she is receiving now is simply the energy returning to her.
Addressing misconceptions, she clarified that she handles her social media page entirely by herself without a PR team or external support. “I am personally responding while dealing with something that needs my full presence,” she wrote.
Facing personal turmoil amid public curiosity
Shhyamali went on to detail the condition of her spiritual guide:
“On 9 November, my Jyotish guru was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, which has unfortunately metastasised to multiple parts of the body, including the brain. I am sure you all will understand where my attention must be right now.”
She concluded her note with a gentle appeal to her followers:
“So, a humble request: please keep this space clean. Thank you… thank you… thank you… May every person, every being be blessed with good health, happiness, prosperity, and spirituality.”
Her message, though not referencing Samantha or Raj directly, comes at a time when many were watching her social media activity closely, leading to heightened interest in her emotional state.
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru’s wedding at Isha Yoga Centre
On December 1, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru married in an intimate ceremony at the Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore. The wedding followed the yogic tradition of Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha, keeping in line with the spiritual setting of the ashram. Only close friends and family were present, and the event remained low-key despite the public spotlight on the couple.
Wedding and pre-wedding pictures, once released, quickly went viral online, bringing joy to fans and the film industry alike. The serene backdrop of the Isha Foundation and the simplicity of the rituals added to the charm of the festivities.
From colleagues to life partners
Samantha and Raj first worked together on The Family Man 2 in 2021. Samantha played the fierce antagonist Raji, while Raj co-created the hit series with Krishna DK. Their professional rapport eventually developed into friendship and later blossomed into a relationship. Though the couple initially kept their romance under wraps, their public appearances over the past year had already sparked discussions about their equation.
Their wedding marks a new chapter in both their lives, even as social media continues to react to the celebrations and the responses from close ones connected to the duo.
Conclusion
As Samantha and Raj begin their journey together, Shhyamali’s heartfelt note serves as a reminder that public moments of joy can coexist with deeply personal battles. Her request to maintain positivity online underscores the need for sensitivity during times when lives—public or private—intersect with scrutiny.
