Has Samantha Confirmed Her Relationship with Director Raj Nidimoru Through a New Post?
Mumbai: Popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently soaring to new heights in her career. Her debut as a producer with the film Shubham has received tremendous acclaim from both audiences and critics alike. However, amidst the celebration of this success, another aspect has caught everyone’s attention — her growing closeness with director Raj Nidimoru.
Recently, Samantha took to Instagram to thank her fans for their support of Shubham. In the post, she shared two pictures that have now become the center of widespread speculation. One image shows Samantha and Raj engrossed in a deep conversation, with her smiling warmly at him. The other is a cozy selfie of the two seated together on a flight.
While neither Samantha nor Raj has officially confirmed their relationship, these photos have once again reignited dating rumors on social media. Fans were quick to flood the comment section with messages like, “It’s official, Raj and Sam are in love,” “Samantha with Raj (heart emoji),” and even coined a new couple name — “SamRaj.”
Just last month, the two were seen together at the Tirupati Balaji Temple, offering prayers ahead of Shubham’s release. Their traditional attire and evident bond during the spiritual outing also sparked curiosity among fans. Samantha was seen in a soft pink salwar suit, while Raj wore a blue shirt with a white dhoti.
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru have worked together before on successful projects such as the second season of Amazon Prime’s acclaimed series The Family Man and the upcoming spy thriller Citadel: Honey Bunny. They are also set to collaborate again on Raktha Brahmandam: The Bloody Kingdom and The Family Man Season 3.
Speaking of her personal life, Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, but the couple parted ways in 2021.
In her Instagram caption, Samantha wrote:
“Thank you for watching, feeling, and celebrating #SUBHAM with us! Our first step — driven by heart, madness, and the belief that new, refreshing stories matter! We are @tralalamovingpictures. And with Shubham, the journey has just begun. What a start!”
As of now, it remains to be seen whether this is merely a close professional bond or if Samantha and Raj have indeed given their relationship a new name. Either way, fans are loving their chemistry — both on and off screen.
