Shhyamali De, the ex-wife of filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, shared her first public reflection on Thursday, offering a glimpse into her current priorities and personal challenges. The post comes amid intense public and social media attention following Raj Nidimoru’s marriage to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu on December 1, 2025, at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore.

Though she did not address the wedding directly, Shhyamali De’s Instagram Stories made it clear that her focus is on gratitude, spiritual practice, and her personal responsibilities during a difficult period. Her posts also come as the public continues to speculate and comment on the interpersonal dynamics between her, her ex-husband, and his new spouse.

“Thank you for all the kindness—the good wishes, the warm words, and all the blessings. I spent a sleepless night tossing and turning, debating, and realised it would be ungrateful and churlish not to acknowledge all the good that is coming to me,” she wrote.

Shhyamali De shared that she has been practising meditation on Twin Hearts for several years, a spiritual practice that involves sending blessings of peace, love, forgiveness, hope, joy, and goodwill to all beings. She explained how this practice helps her navigate challenging times, stating, “As a friend reminded me, what I am receiving now is simply that energy returning. I have no team, no PR, no staff, or associates managing my page. I am personally responding while dealing with something that needs my full presence.”

The primary reason for her current focus, she revealed, is the serious illness of her Jyotish guru, who was diagnosed on November 9 with Stage 4 cancer that has metastasised to multiple parts of the body, including the brain.

“I am sure you all will understand where my attention must be right now. So, a humble request: please keep this space clean. Thank you... thank you... thank you... May every person, every being be blessed with good health, happiness, prosperity, and spirituality,” she added.

Shhyamali De’s posts come after widespread public commentary on Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding. The couple’s ceremony, conducted according to the Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha tradition, was intimate and private, attended by close family and friends. This yogic ritual focuses on purifying the five elements within the couple, creating a spiritual bond that transcends thought, emotion, or physicality. Samantha shared glimpses of the serene event on social media earlier this week.
