Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a series of photos on Instagram, reigniting rumours about her alleged relationship with director Raj Nidimoru.
Among the shared photos, a standout was a selfie featuring Samantha with Raj and another friend in the frame. She also posted a solo picture of Raj.
Her caption — “It’s been a long road, but here we are. New beginnings” — added to the speculation about a fresh chapter in her personal life.
Speculation began in February when Samantha shared pictures from the World Pickleball League, where she was seen holding Raj’s hand.
For those unaware, Samantha owns the pickleball team Chennai Super Champs, linking her to the event where the duo was first spotted.
Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple announced their separation in 2021.
Chaitanya married actress Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024, drawing renewed attention to his past with Samantha.
Samantha recently starred in Citadel: Honey Bunny opposite Varun Dhawan and appeared in Kushi (2023) with Vijay Deverakonda.
Raj, one half of the Raj & DK duo, is best known for acclaimed projects like The Family Man, Go Goa Gone, Farzi, and Guns & Gulaabs.
