Samantha Ruth Prabhu's latest Diwali post has fans buzzing with romance speculation! She shared adorable photos with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, captioning it "Filled with gratitude". The pair looked radiant together, enjoying Diwali rituals, sparklers and quality time. This isn't the first time they've sparked dating rumors - they've been spotted together on outings and collaborated on projects like The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny. While neither has confirmed their relationship, fans are convinced that love is in the air for the duo, especially after Samantha's recent hints at "new beginnings".
Dressed in a vibrant green ethnic outfit, Samantha celebrated the festival of lights with Raj, who wore a blue kurta. The images captured the serene ambiance of her home, Diwali rituals and joyful moments with sparklers.
Samantha is a highly acclaimed actress in South India, known for her versatility and talent. She made her debut in the 2010 film Ye Maaya Chesave and went on to work with top stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and Allu Arjun in Telugu and Tamil cinema.
In her personal life, Samantha married Naga Chaitanya in 2017 after a long-term relationship, but the couple divorced in 2021. She also faced health challenges, announcing in 2022 that she was battling myositis, an autoimmune disorder.
Recent chatter suggests that Samantha might be dating Raj Nidimoru, one half of the acclaimed directing duo behind The Family Man and the upcoming Citadel: Honey Bunny. Fans of the actress were both surprised and intrigued by reports suggesting that Samantha and Raj had developed a close bond while working together on the eagerly awaited series Citadel: Honey Bunny, which stars Samantha alongside Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan.
After a brief hiatus, Samantha is back in the spotlight with new projects. She was last seen in the 2023 films Shaakunthalam and Kushi. Now, she's teaming up with Raj & DK again for the Netflix show Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, following her collaboration with them in the 2024 Prime Video show Citadel: Honey Bunny.
