Despite ongoing rumors, neither Samantha nor Raj Nidimoru has confirmed their relationship. Raj is one half of the successful filmmaker duo Raj & DK, known for directing The Family Man, Farzi, Citadel: Honey Bunny, and Guns & Gulaabs. Their professional collaborations have only added to the speculation.
Samantha, who impressed audiences in The Family Man 2, has continued working with Raj & DK on Citadel: Honey Bunny and their upcoming project, Rakht Brahmand. Speaking about her experience, she told News18 Showsha, “Raj & DK have spoiled me for good reason. They inspire me to take on more challenges with each project.”
The actress was previously married to Naga Chaitanya, but they announced their separation in 2021, ending their four-year marriage.
