Samantha, though on a break from acting due to health issues, recently turned producer with the horror comedy Shubham, which earned good profits. But more than her film, her closeness with director Raj Nidimoru is grabbing attention.

Raj, known for Family Man and Citadel, has often been seen with Samantha—at airports, on sets, and in selfies she shares online. He’s also involved in her film Shubham, sparking rumors they’re dating. Samantha recently posted new pictures with Raj, including a close-up selfie taken on a flight.

Despite Raj being married (with no divorce news) and Samantha divorced, their public appearances and repeated photos are fueling speculation. Neither has commented, but many feel Samantha might be dropping hints about their relationship through these posts.
