‘Who is he?': Pics of mystery man chilling with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in swimming pool make her fans go wild after she removes YMC tattoo
Whispers surrounding Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru have gradually gained momentum, creating a quiet storm of speculation online. While neither of them has issued a statement or hinted directly at any romantic involvement, fans continue to draw their own conclusions from seemingly subtle cues, piecing together bits of evidence in search of a hidden narrative. The current chatter stems from a recent series of vacation photos that Samantha posted on social media. The actress is presently enjoying a serene escape at the opulent Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort in Abu Dhabi. Among the sun-soaked snapshots, one image especially caught the attention of her followers. Posing gracefully in a black bikini while relaxing in a swimming pool, she looked effortlessly radiant. But what really ignited online speculation was a reflection seen in her sunglasses—some observers believe it revealed the faint image of a man, and they were quick to claim the figure resembled Raj Nidimoru. Another striking moment in her photo series featured Samantha in the desert, observing the night sky through a large telescope. The minimalist look she embraced—no visible makeup and her hair pulled back—gave fans a glimpse into her relaxed and natural side. Along with these pictures, Samantha shared a brief caption suggesting a hopeful and dreamy mindset, further fueling curiosity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 모공각화증 '이렇게' 했더니...(실제 후기) 사과별 더 알아보기 Undo As expected, the internet wasted no time dissecting the images. Some users pointed out what they saw as visual clues, like the apparent presence of Raj reflected in her eyewear. Comments rolled in with questions like 'Isn't that Raj in the reflection?' and 'Who's that man capturing her photo in the fourth slide?' These remarks added fuel to the speculative fire, creating a buzz across fan communities. Samantha appears to be embracing joy and calm in her life again, judging by her frequent updates and warm expressions. On May 14, 2025, she posted a pair of photos with Raj Nidimoru at a movie theatre, standing together with a poster of their collaborative project displayed in the background. What really stood out to fans was the tenderness in her eyes—many interpreted it as a sign of affection, further intensifying the speculation about their relationship. Samantha was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya. Recently, some observant fans noticed the absence of a significant tattoo in one of her pictures. The tattoo, which once read "Yeh Maaya Chesave" in reference to her debut film and also featured her former husband, was nowhere to be seen. This disappearance led some to believe she was signaling a fresh chapter in her life, distancing herself from the past. Raj Nidimoru, who forms one-half of the filmmaker duo Raj & DK, has worked closely with Samantha on major productions like The Family Man and Citadel: Honey Bunny, strengthening their professional rapport—and possibly more.
