In a viral video, Raj is seen glaring at the paparazzi through the car window before driving off with Samantha Ruth Prabhu seated beside him. Though neither has commented on their relationship status, their frequent public outings and subtle social media interactions continue to keep fans—and the rumour mill—buzzing.
Chic dinner look meets tense mood
For the dinner outing, the actress kept it effortlessly stylish in a white and navy striped full-sleeve sweater.
She wore her soft curls swept to one side and embraced a radiant, makeup-free look, accessorised simply with a black handbag and delicate bracelets. Raj Nidimoru opted for a laid-back look with an olive green jacket, a black cap, and a noticeably serious expression that has since become the focus of online chatter.
Detroit photos
fuel speculation
The buzz around Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru's rumoured relationship intensified recently after Samantha shared a series of photos from her trip to Detroit, Michigan, where she attended the TANA 2025 event.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted Raj appearing in multiple frames—including one notably intimate picture where his arm is affectionately wrapped around her—adding more fuel to the ongoing dating rumours.
The two first worked together on Citadel: Honey Bunny, which Raj co-directed with
Krishna D.K.
Since then, their off-screen rapport has sparked continuous speculation, with fans and media closely tracking their growing closeness.
According to a Pinkvilla report, Raj Nidimoru and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been exploring properties together with plans to move in. The source also alleged that Raj officially divorced his wife Shhyamali in 2022 and later found love in Samantha following their collaboration on Citadel. However, Samantha's manager has denied the moving-in rumours in a statement to Hindustan Times, calling them untrue.
