Samantha's ‘Like’ History with Raj’s Ex-Wife Triggers Fresh Gossip Frenzy

Speculation around Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s connection with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru has intensified following recent online conversations and resurfaced social media interactions. A Reddit thread has brought renewed focus to older Instagram posts by Raj’s former wife, Shhyamali De, which were reportedly liked by Samantha.

Screenshots shared by a Reddit user claim to show the actress engaging with multiple posts made by Shhyamali while she was still married to Raj. Among these was a family photograph featuring Raj, his parents, and Shhyamali, dated mid-2022. Another showed Samantha allegedly liking a birthday message shared by Shhyamali in April 2023.

The post further speculated that Samantha and Shhyamali once followed each other on Instagram but may have unfollowed one another after stories linking the actress to Raj began circulating. These past interactions have now gained renewed interest, especially in light of recent developments.

Adding to the attention, Shhyamali posted a reflective Instagram Story recently. While the message did not name anyone, it coincided with a widely circulated image of Samantha on a flight, leaning on Raj Nidimoru’s shoulder. The timing led to interpretations that the two posts were linked, though no confirmation or response was issued by either party.

Reports have also suggested that Samantha and Raj are considering cohabiting. An entertainment news portal quoted a source who claimed that the pair are looking at properties together. The source stated that Raj’s divorce was finalized in 2022 and that his connection with Samantha developed after their collaboration on the project Citadel.

Clarifying circulating visuals, the same source added that Raj does not have a daughter, addressing confusion arising from photographs of him with a child. The child in question, the source said, was the daughter of filmmaker Krishna D.K.

As of now, there has been no formal comment from Samantha or Raj on these reports. Online discussions, however, continue to keep the matter in the spotlight, with users revisiting timelines and interactions to trace how the alleged relationship may have unfolded.
