Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has once again sparked rumours about her love life. The latest buzz began after she posted a reel from her short trip to Dubai. The video showed her boarding a flight, meeting designer Kresha Bajaj, and even doing a playful walk for the camera. But what caught everyone’s eye was a small clip of Samantha holding a man’s hand and swinging it back and forth.
Fans were quick to guess that the man in the video was filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. Comments on her post were filled with speculation, with many calling it a “soft launch” of her new relationship. Some wrote that she looked genuinely happy, while others asked if she was making her relationship official. Even fellow actors like Varun Dhawan and Disha Patani dropped comments that added more fuel to the discussion.
This is not the first time Samantha and Raj’s names have been linked together. The two worked on The Family Man 2, where Samantha played Raaji, and later teamed up again for Citadel: Honey Bunny. Their next project together, Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, is already in production for Netflix. Their frequent collaborations and public appearances have only added to the rumours.
Reports have also claimed that Raj separated from his wife in 2022, and since then has been close to Samantha. A source even told the media that the child seen with Raj in some photos was not his daughter but actually co-director DK’s child. Still, Samantha’s manager has brushed off the dating stories, calling them nothing more than gossip.
As of now, neither Samantha nor Raj has confirmed anything about their relationship. But the hand-holding video and their growing number of public outings together have kept fans talking. Whether it’s love or just friendship, Samantha’s supporters are simply happy to see her smiling and enjoying life again.
