Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who has been unmarried since her divorce, has reignited speculation of a romantic relationship with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru.
The speculation initially intensified earlier this month when Samantha participated in the World Pickleball League 2025 in Mumbai, supporting her side, the Chennai Super Champs. Among the collection of Instagram images she posted from the occasion, several showcased Raj Nidimoru, one half of the renowned directing combo Raj & DK.
Samantha grasped Raj’s hand in one poignant photograph, while another had him tenderly admiring her as she championed her squad.
Samantha and Raj collaborated on web dramas “The Family Man 2” and “Citadel: Honey Bunny”. During the filming of “Citadel”, their on-set rapport allegedly extended into their personal lives. Insiders indicate that the relationship between the pair intensified throughout the production of Citadel, with Raj offering emotional support to Samantha after her highly publicized divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya in 2021.
Holiday with Raj
On February 21, sources indicated that Samantha had gone to an unidentified place for a period of solitude. Reports suggest that she is presently on vacation with him. Currently, neither Samantha nor Raj has affirmed or refuted the relationship rumors, rendering the narrative ambiguous.
