Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu celebrated Makar Sankranti this year on a personal note as she celebrated the festival for the first time with her husband, filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. The actor shared a joyful selfie with Raj on social media, giving fans a glimpse of their festive celebrations.

In the photo, Samantha and Raj are seen sitting inside a car wearing coordinated red outfits with a traditional touch. While Raj keeps it simple, Samantha strikes a playful, silly pose for the camera. She captioned the picture, “Sankranti vibes”, reflecting the mood of the day.

Samantha and Raj got married in an intimate ceremony in Coimbatore on December 1, 2025. Despite being spotted together at several events earlier this year, the couple largely kept their relationship out of the limelight and never confirmed it publicly. The announcement of their marriage came as a surprise to many fans. The actor had shared pictures from the wedding on social media, which received warm wishes from fans and industry colleagues.

On the work front, Samantha and Raj share a successful professional history. They previously collaborated on The Family Man Season 2 and Prime Video’s Citadel: Honey Bunny, with Raj serving as the director and Samantha playing a pivotal role in both projects.
