Samantha drops candid moments with rumoured beau Raj & team 'Shubham': Internet declares “love is in the air”

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is on cloud nine, and for all the right reasons. The actress recently took to Instagram to share a joyful photo and video dump as she celebrated the release of her first production venture Subham. While the post was all about gratitude and excitement for her new journey as a producer, fans couldn’t help but zoom in on her chemistry with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, sparking fresh buzz around their rumoured romance.

The post was filled with behind-the-scenes snippets and wholesome moments, from bonding with her crew to sweet family appreciation. Among the pictures, one shows Samantha standing next to a large Subham poster with Raj Nidimoru by her side. Another captures a candid moment during her short but impactful cameo in the film, with Raj seen helping her prep for the role of ‘Maatha’. But it was the picture from an airplane, where Samantha is seen snuggled up to Raj, that had fans talking the most.

Captioning the post with heartfelt words, Samantha wrote: “Thank you for watching, feeling and celebrating #SUBHAM with us! Our very first step—fuelled by heart, madness and the belief that new, fresh stories matter! We are @tralalamovingpictures. And with Subham, the journey has begun. What a start!”

One of the most adorable parts of the post was a video featuring her mother, Ninette Prabhu, who couldn’t stop gushing over her daughter’s performance in the film. “Your acting was so nice. Look at the expressions, it’s difficult maa,” she said proudly, with Samantha modestly insisting it was just a one-scene role. The mother-daughter exchange melted hearts online.

Fans quickly flooded the comments, shifting focus to Samantha and Raj’s rumoured relationship. One user wrote, “8th slide sam! They’re going to trend your love story.” Another added, “It’s official, Raj and Sam are in love.”

Directed by Cinema Bandi fame Praveen Kandregula, Subham has struck a chord with audiences. With Raj Nidimoru on board as a creative producer and Himank Duvvuru co-producing, Samantha’s production house Tralala Moving Pictures has made a promising start.

From personal milestones to professional wins, Samantha seems to be embracing it all, with love, laughter, and a touch of romance.
