Family Man director Raj Nidimoru just got married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu on December 1, 2025, and left his former wife Shhyamali De in the limelight. Here is everything you need to know about the filmmaker’s first marriage and more.
Who Is Raj Nidimoru’s Ex-Wife?
Raj Nidimoru was previously married to Shhyamali De, a talented filmmaker and assistant director. The couple got married in 2015 after meeting together working as film industry professionals. Shhyamali has collaborated on several prominent productions such as the popular film “Omkara” by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Marriage and Separation
The director always kept a low profile regarding his relationship with Shhyamali throughout their marriage. The couple divorced officially in 2022, after seven years of being together. Spending time together, Raj liked the way Shhyamal viewed their casting choices, particularly her advice on what to cast or what not to cast, and how her non-industry background kept him in the present.
