Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru recently found themselves at the centre of dating rumours after Samantha shared a flight selfie with Raj on Instagram. The post led to widespread speculation about their relationship status, with some reports suggesting that the two were not only dating but also planning to live together.
A report by Pinkvilla, citing a source, claimed that Samantha and Raj are considering moving in together and are actively scouting properties. It further mentioned that the director had finalized his divorce from his wife Shhyamali in 2022 and had grown close to Samantha after their collaboration on the Indian version of Citadel. The report also clarified that contrary to circulating images, Raj does not have a daughter; the child he was spotted with is his co-director Krishna DK’s daughter.
However, Samantha’s manager dismissed these claims, calling them mere rumours in a statement given to Hindustan Times. The manager chose not to elaborate further, maintaining a guarded stance on the matter.
The buzz began when Samantha posted a heartfelt message thanking fans for supporting her recent Telugu horror-drama ‘Subham’. In the post, she also introduced her new production banner Tralala Moving Pictures, expressing excitement about the fresh storytelling journey.
Adding to the intrigue, Raj’s ex-wife Shhyamali posted a cryptic message on the same day. Her message read: “I send blessings and love to everyone who thinks of me, sees me, hears me, hears of me, speaks to me, speaks of me, reads of me, writes of me and meets me today.” While she did not mention names, the timing of the post raised eyebrows among fans and media alike.
As speculation continues, neither Samantha nor Raj has officially commented on their relationship, leaving fans guessing about the truth behind the rumours.
