Samantha and Raj Nidimoru Spark Speculation Again, Manager Dismisses Moving-In Rumors
The buzz around Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru’s growing friendship has taken a new turn with recent reports suggesting the duo are planning to move in together. However, Samantha’s team has firmly denied these claims, labelling them as nothing more than unfounded gossip.
Real Estate Rumors Make Headlines
According to a recent report by Pinkvilla, sources claimed that Samantha and Raj were exploring real estate options together with plans of sharing a living space. The source even alleged that Raj, who reportedly separated from his wife Shhyamali in 2022, grew close to Samantha during the making of Citadel and that their bond has since evolved beyond professional ties.
Adding to the confusion, the same report addressed online chatter about Raj being seen with a child, clarifying that the child is actually his co-director Krishna D.K.’s daughter, not his own.
Samantha’s Team Responds
When approached by Hindustan Times, Samantha’s manager quashed all speculation with a brief but direct response, calling the reports “Rumours.” No further comment was made, leaving fans and media houses to interpret the silence.
Instagram Sparks Fresh Talk
The speculation gained momentum following Samantha’s recent Instagram post celebrating the success of Subham, her first venture as a producer. In the post, she shared a carousel of photos — including candid moments with Raj Nidimoru. One picture showed the two smiling near a poster of the film, another captured him assisting her during her on-screen appearance as Maatha, and the third showed them together on a flight, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Though there’s been no official confirmation of any romantic relationship, these images have certainly fueled public curiosity.
Past and Present Relationships
Raj Nidimoru was previously married to Shhyamali De, a creative force in the film industry with experience working on celebrated projects like Rang De Basanti and Omkara. Samantha was formerly married to actor Naga Chaitanya; the couple parted ways in 2021. Chaitanya has since tied the knot with actress Sobhita Dhulipala, according to recent reports.
What’s Really Going On?
Despite the online chatter and public intrigue, there’s currently no official word confirming any romantic involvement or plans to cohabit. For now, the buzz appears to be more fiction than fact — at least according to those close to the actress.
As the duo continue to work together creatively and appear together at public events, fans can expect the speculation to persist. Until either party addresses it directly, it’s safe to say the rumors remain just that.
