Ex-wife Shhyamali De Breaks Silence After Raj Nidimoru’s Wedding with Samantha Ruth Prabhu: 'I’ve Had Sleepless Nights'
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru recently tied the knot in a quiet yet deeply spiritual ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The couple chose an intimate setting, surrounded by close family and friends, where they took part in the Linga Bhairavi Vivaha and the Bhuta Shuddhi ceremony rituals rooted in devotion, purity, and sacred symbolism. Though the wedding itself was understated, the moment their photos surfaced online, the internet couldn’t get enough of their radiant smiles and serene celebration.
Shhyamali De Speaks After Four Days of Silence
While the wedding dominated conversations, Raj’s ex-wife, writer and healer Shhyamali De, took her time before responding publicly. On December 4, four days after the ceremony, she finally opened up through a heartfelt Instagram story, thanking everyone who had checked on her and sent words of kindness and support.
In her message, Shhyamali offered an honest glimpse into her emotional state. She revealed that she had spent “sleepless nights,” often “tossing and turning,” as she processed the shifts unfolding in her life. Despite the turbulence, she emphasised that the love and positivity flowing towards her had not gone unnoticed. She said it would be unfair to ignore the goodness surrounding her during such a delicate time.
Healing Through Meditation and Goodwill
A significant part of Shhyamali’s note highlighted the strength she draws from her daily meditation practice. As someone who regularly sends out blessings of peace, forgiveness, joy, hope, and love to others, she believes the support she has received in return is a reflection of that universal energy. She clarified that she does not have a PR team managing her messages—every ounce of goodwill came directly from people who genuinely cared.
Amid the emotional storm, her primary focus remains on her guru, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on November 4. Shhyamali requested her followers to respect her space and maintain a positive atmosphere. She ended her message with heartfelt wishes for everyone’s health, happiness, and prosperity.
