Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is rumoured to be dating Raj Nidimoru, the director of Citadel: Honey Bunny.
The speculation gained traction after Samantha shared a series of photos from a recent pickleball tournament, which prominently featured Raj.
Among the pictures, one particular snapshot caught everyone’s attention—Samantha holding Raj’s hand, further fuelling the dating rumours.
On February 1, Samantha took to her Instagram account to share glimpses from the World Pickleball League match.
As the owner of the pickleball team Chennai Super Champs, Samantha was seen cheering enthusiastically for her team.
The first photo shows her walking alongside Raj, while another captures him gazing at her as she celebrates.
The penultimate photo is a group shot featuring the entire team, but it was Samantha holding Raj’s hand that became the talk of the town.
Fans were quick to speculate whether this was her way of subtly confirming their relationship.
Raj Nidimoru is one half of the acclaimed filmmaking duo Raj and DK, known for directing hits like The Family Man, Farzi, Citadel: Honey Bunny, and Guns & Gulaabs.
Samantha has previously collaborated with the duo on The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny and is set to work with them again on their upcoming project, Rakht Brahmand.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya in 2017, but the couple announced their separation in 2021.
