Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Popular Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set to step into 2026 with clarity and purpose. The actress who recently got married to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru has mapped out her goals for 2026. Samantha revealed that she wants to slow down and focus on building deeper, more meaningful connections in both her personal and professional life.
On Friday, Samantha shared a candid image of her alongside a list of her New Year resolutions. In the photo, the actress is seen smiling while lying on a bed.
The text on the image read, "2026 me- gratitude, lift for longevity, deeper connections, give back, listening inward, steady work, steady growth, align with purpose."
On December 1, Samantha surprised all her followers with the news of her marriage with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. The couple exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore in the presence of their close family members.
Sharing their photos on social media, the 'Yashoda' actress simply captioned, "(white heart emoji) 01.12.2025." The images showed the newlyweds exchanging wedding rings and praying before commencing their new journey.
For the unaware, Samantha is believed to have first met Raj during the shoot of the Amazon Prime Video series, The Family Man 2, in which she played a powerful role. The two once again joined hands for the web show, Citadel: Honey Bunny, co-starring Varun Dhawan. The rumors of Samantha and Raj being in a relationship began to circulate as the two were seen together at various events.
Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple tied the knot in 2017 in a grand ceremony. However, they ended up going their separate ways in 2021. Naga Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December last year. Meanwhile, Raj Nidimoru was married to Shhyamali De.
The actress was last seen in the Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny, alongside Varun Dhawan. The series is the Indian spin-off of the American show Citadel on Amazon Prime Video, which starred Priyanka Chopra in the lead. She is set to reunite with Raj and DK for Rakt Bramhand, a fantasy action series also starring Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi. In addition, Samantha will star in Bangaram, a film she announced on her birthday. This project is particularly significant for her, as it marks her debut as a producer.
