Raj Nidimoru’s Aunt Opens Up About Samantha
She got a bit nostalgic talking about Raj, recalling how he used to sing devotional songs as a kid.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 8 Dec 2025 3:44 PM ISTSamantha recently tied the knot with Raj Nidimoru, and while Raj’s ex-wife had been dropping Instagram posts hinting at her feelings about the split, now another family voice is making waves. Raj’s aunt, Shobha Raju, known for her Annamayya sankirtans, shared some behind-the-scenes thoughts about Samantha and the wedding.
She got a bit nostalgic talking about Raj, recalling how he used to sing devotional songs as a kid. About Samantha, she laughed and said, “Sam is super disciplined with her food. I heard she goes to the Isha Yoga Center every few months and meditates… and yep, it’s true. Honestly, I felt shy sitting next to her, even trying to follow her diet.” She also mentioned Raj shares her love for fitness and meditation, so at least in that way, they were in sync.
Shobha Raju also gave a peek into the wedding vibe. A spiritual ritual called ‘Klesha Nashana’ was performed, guests were served sattvik food, and natural perfumes were given as gifts. And Samantha? She apparently looked drop-dead gorgeous in her wedding outfit. Aunt Shobha couldn’t stop gushing about it.
Since then, the newlyweds have been busy in their own worlds. Samantha is diving into producing and acting in Maa Inti Bangaram, while Raj is riding the high of The Family Man 3’s success, celebrating with DK, Manoj Bajpayee, and the team at a small Mumbai party.
