Is It Official? Samantha Ruth Prabhu Sparks Romance Rumors with Filmmaker Raj Nidimoru

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has once again found herself in the spotlight — this time not for her films but for her rumored relationship with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of the celebrated duo Raj & DK. The speculation began after Samantha shared a series of photos from the launch of her new perfume brand, Secret Alchemist, on Instagram, one of which quickly went viral.

In the now-trending photo, Samantha is seen warmly hugging Raj Nidimoru, with her arms around him as he held her by the waist. Another image captured Raj standing close behind Samantha while she posed alongside guests, including actress Tamannaah Bhatia. The actress captioned her post, “Surrounded by friends and family. Over the last year and a half, I’ve taken some of the boldest steps in my career — taking risks, trusting my intuition, and learning as I go. Today, I’m celebrating the small wins.”

While the pictures appear friendly, fans couldn’t help but speculate about their relationship status. Samantha and Raj previously worked together on The Family Man 2 and the upcoming spy thriller Citadel: Honey Bunny. Their on-screen collaborations and frequent appearances have added fuel to the ongoing dating rumors.

Neither Samantha nor Raj has addressed the speculation, but social media is abuzz with fans analyzing their chemistry and interactions. Meanwhile, Samantha is set to team up again with Raj and DK for their next ambitious project, Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Ali Fazal.

Whether the relationship rumors are true or not, Samantha continues to inspire admiration for her resilience, career reinvention, and confident outlook on life.
