With Raj’s wedding now official and the visuals making waves across social media, many are revisiting the years leading up to this moment. Naturally, people are curious about who Shhyamali is, what her marriage to Raj looked like, and how the separation unfolded. Here’s a detailed look at Shhyamali De’s life, career and everything that sheds light on her journey before and after her split from the filmmaker.
Shhyamali De holds a degree in psychology from Mumbai University and has long been associated with the film industry. Despite not coming from a traditional filmmaking background, she built an impressive profile by working closely with renowned directors such as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Vishal Bhardwaj.
She has contributed as a scriptwriter, assistant director and creative consultant on several acclaimed films, including ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Omkara’ and ‘Ek Nadir Golpo’. Her experience behind the camera earned her respect within the industry and offered her a unique perspective on storytelling.

Raj Nidimoru, celebrated writer-director duo Raj & DK, is best known for hit projects like ‘The Family Man’, ‘Farzi’ and ‘Stree’. He married Shhyamali De in 2015, at a time when the duo was enjoying immense popularity for their fresh brand of storytelling.
However, the pair reportedly parted ways in 2022. Rumours of them having a daughter were also clarified; the child Raj was seen with belonged to his creative partner, DK.
Before the split, Raj had frequently credited Shhyamali for her influence on his work, praising her for keeping him grounded and offering thoughtful inputs, especially in casting.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu worked with Raj & DK on ‘The Family Man 2’ in 2021, the same year she publicly separated from Naga Chaitanya. Although she and Raj collaborated again on ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, neither has addressed the speculation surrounding their dynamic.
Because Raj was still married at the time Samantha entered his professional circle, social media has been rife with assumptions, with many wondering whether she played any part in his divorce. Shhyamali, however, has not made any direct allegations.

Even after the separation, Shhyamali shared affectionate posts about Raj. One that caught particular attention featured a wedding photograph with the caption, “so many reasons to love you,” reportedly posted post-divorce. She also extended warm congratulatory messages to Raj & DK for their successes, though netizens noted that she avoided posting about Samantha’s involvement in Citadel.
In recent weeks, she has been sharing cryptic yet philosophical messages, prompting followers to speculate whether they’re subconscious responses to the current controversy. One such post read, “I send blessings and love to everyone who thinks of me… speaks of me… writes of me… today.”
With nearly 6,226 followers, her public profile often becomes the first stop for those seeking clues.
