Samantha Ruth Prabhu has set social media abuzz yet again, this time with rumours of a budding romance with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. The spark? A series of intimate vacation photos from Detroit, Michigan, which fans believe are the clearest signs yet of their alleged relationship.
Cosy Moments in Detroit
The actor, who attended the 2025 Telugu Association of North America (TANA) event, shared a photo dump from her time in Detroit. But it wasn’t just the city’s charm that caught fans’ attention. One picture, particularly showing Raj Nidimoru with his arm affectionately around Samantha, as they strolled down a Detroit street, has gone viral. Dressed casually, the duo looked relaxed and happy, sending the internet into a frenzy.
Another snap shows them sitting side by side at a dinner table, appearing at ease in each other’s company. Samantha also shared glimpses of her designer ensemble by Kresha Bajaj, quiet café moments, and a cosy shot with her pet, all captioned simply: “Detroit ❤️🧿.”
Fans Call It a “Soft Launch”
Fans flooded the comments with excitement and questions. “Is it official?” asked one user. Others chimed in with, “Finally found your love… Happy for you!” and “This looks like a soft launch.”
The chemistry between Samantha and Raj hasn’t gone unnoticed, with many congratulating them already.
A Bond Beyond Work
The duo first worked together on The Family Man 2 and later reunited for Citadel: Honey Bunny. Their professional bond seems to have blossomed into a personal one. They also co-own the pickleball team “Chennai Super Champs,” adding more fuel to the rumours.
