Did Samantha Ruth Prabhu just indirectly announce her relationship with Raj Nidimoru in her latest reel?

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently the subject of much speculation regarding her rumored relationship with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. Despite the absence of official confirmation or denial from either party, their shared photographs and public appearances have intensified dating rumors. Recently, Samantha fueled further speculation by posting a new reel featuring her holding a man's hand. In the context of the ongoing rumors with Raj Nidimoru, fans are now wondering if this was a subtle, indirect announcement of their alleged relationship.

On Tuesday, Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a video showcasing special moments from her Dubai trip. The reel's caption, "What I see vs What you see," includes a brief shot of the actress holding a man's hand. Though their faces are not visible, the reel shows a man in a black jacket, denim jeans, and a black bag, holding a phone in one hand and Samantha's hand in the other. Fans are convinced it's Raj Nidimoru. "Raj Nidimoru Fam," wrote one fan, while another commented, "Is this the announced of relationship." A third comment read, "New man in her life! Wow that she is moving on in her life" while another one wrote, "Omg! I am just screaming, I love Samantha" "Did she just make her relationship public??" wrote another netizen.

Samantha captioned the reel, "Dubai for a minute." Her Citadel co-star Varun Dhawan reacted with a red heart emoji, and Disha Patani commented, "So cute."

Samantha posted a photo carousel in May to thank fans for their support. Two photos in the post sparked fan interest. One showed Samantha with Raj Nidimoru and the "Subham" team in front of the film banner. However, the second photo, a cozy in-flight selfie with Samantha resting her head on Raj's shoulder, fueled rumors about their relationship.

In July, Samantha shared photos from the Telugu Association of North America (TANA) 2025 event in Detroit, Michigan. Notably, her rumored boyfriend, Raj Nidimoru, was seen in several of the pictures.

Despite the absence of an official confirmation from Samantha or Raj regarding the dating rumors, fans are convinced that these new photos are a clear indication of their relationship.

Samantha's upcoming project, Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, produced by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, boasts a star-studded cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Wamiga Gabbi.
