After her divorce from actor Naga Chaitanya, South Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is once again the subject of gossip in the film industry, with rumours suggesting she is in a new relationship. The speculation gained momentum after Samantha posted pictures from a recent pickleball tournament. She shared images with director Raj Nidimoru, who is known for the Citadel - Honey Bunny series. Following the post, many negative comments appeared beneath her post.
One such comment read, "Raj is married and living with his family. Don’t share photos with him publicly. You’ve already broken your marriage; don’t ruin another woman’s life."
After the pictures came out, some national media outlets reported that Raj and his wife are living separately and that they might be heading for a divorce. Meanwhile, fans have pointed out that unnecessary rumours are being spread, and Raj and Samantha are just good friends. However, Samantha has not yet responded to these developments.
Raj Nidimoru is part of the director duo Raj & DK, known for works like The Family Man, Farzi, Citadel: Honey Bunny, and Guns & Gulaabs. Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who worked with Raj and DK on The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny, will also be collaborating with them again in the upcoming series Rakt Brahmand. Samantha married Naga Chaitanya in 2017, and they announced their separation in 2021.
