Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru’s dating rumours
Samantha and Raj worked together on The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Their dating rumours gained momentum after she frequently shared photos with him on her Instagram, fuelling speculation about their relationship. While they haven’t yet confirmed anything, they are often spotted enjoying vacations together, further adding to the speculation.
A source told Pinkvilla, “Raj got officially divorced from Shhyamali in 2022 and found love in Samantha after they collaborated on Citadel. Meanwhile, reports about Raj being spotted with his daughter are false. He doesn’t have a daughter — the child he was seen with is his co-director Krishna DK’s daughter.” However, HT reached out to Samantha’s manager, who dismissed it as just a “rumour.”
Samantha is now working with Raj & DK on Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. The show also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jaideep Ahlawat. Currently in production, the series is expected to premiere in 2026. Meanwhile, Raj & DK’s The Family Man season 3, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat and others, is scheduled to release in November this year.
