The celebration took place in an undisclosed location and was attended by few guests. The two kept their relationship discreet for months, despite rumors that had been circulating since the beginning of 2024.
Relationship trajectory
Samantha and Raj met in 2021, during the recording of the second season of The Family Man. In the series, the actress played agent Raji and worked directly with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, a duo known as Raj & DK.
The reunion took place in Citadel: Honey Bunny, released in 2024 by Prime Video. Recording in different locations strengthened the closeness between the two.

- Stone has an almost two-dimensional shape
- Wide top surface maximizes shine
- Style refers to historical Indian jewelry
- Estimated value remains undisclosed
