Rumours have been swirling on social media about a potential romance between Samantha Ruth Prabhu and director Raj Nidimoru, known for his work on Citadel: Honey Bunny. Spurred by an adorable selfie of Samantha with Raj, fans began speculating about their on-screen chemistry crossing over into real life.

Breaking her prolonged silence on the matter, Raj Nidimoru’s wife, Shhyamali De, recently took to Instagram to share a cryptic note. In her post, she wrote:
“I send blessings and love to everyone who thinks of me, sees me, hears me, hears of me, speaks to me, speaks of me, reads of me, writes of me, and meets me today.”

Though Shhyamali did not mention any names, her message arrived shortly after the popular selfie emerged, leading netizens to infer the connection between the two and raise further questions about their relationship.

Raj Nidimoru, who along with his filmmaking colleagues DK and Sita Menon, found his first break in the industry with the film 99, has always been known for his storytelling journey. His humble beginnings—arriving in Mumbai without established contacts but armed with passion—resonate with many of his fans and add context to today’s buzz.

As the conversation unfolds across digital platforms, Shhyamali’s message has become a focal point, subtly reminding everyone of the importance of love and blessings amidst the swirling speculations.
