Who is Shhyamali De?
Shhyamali De has been a noteworthy name in the entertainment industry for many years. Although, she graduated from Mumbai University with a degree in psychology, her passion led her to the world of films, where she built a successful career behind the camera. She has worked as an assistant director with well-known filmmakers like Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Vishal Bhardwaj, gaining experience across multiple genres and styles of cinema.
Her work in the industry is not limited to direction alone. Shhyamali has also explored scriptwriting and has taken on the role of creative consultant in several productions. She has contributed to films such as Rang De Basanti, Omkara, and Ek Nodir Golpo, among others.
On the personal front, Shhyamali was married to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, who is known for popular projects like The Family Man, Citadel: Honey Bunny, Farzi, and Shor in the City. As reported by Filmibeat, the couple got married in 2015 following traditional wedding rituals after meeting through their shared professional space. They also have a daughter together.

In an earlier interaction with Deccan Chronicle, he mentioned that she often guides him on casting decisions and helps him stay balanced. He was quoted saying that because she comes from a non-filmy background, she plays an important role in keeping him grounded.

Over the months, their frequent public outings and Samantha’s occasional social media posts featuring Raj continued to fuel curiosity. The two had earlier collaborated professionally on The Family Man Season 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny, and insiders believe their close working dynamic may have developed into a deeper bond.
