Samantha's Tirupati visit with Raj fuels gossip

It�s not every day that a starlet�s temple visit becomes a talking point, but when Samantha Ruth Prabhu shows up at Tirumala alongside director Raj Nidimoru, the chatter writes itself. The actress, who�s gracefully navigating her single life post-divorce with Naga Chaitanya, has long been in the gossip spotlight for her alleged closeness with Raj�one half of the director duo behind The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny.

This latest sighting only adds fuel to the fire. Samantha, dressed in a soft peach silk kurti and dupatta, looked calm and composed beside Raj, who kept it simple in a blue shirt, white dhoti, and his signature sunglasses. While the duo hasn�t commented on their relationship status, their frequent appearances together have become a pattern hard to ignore. Adding a local connect to the buzz, Raj hails from Tirupati�making this temple visit seem more personal than just spiritual.

The timing, too, feels significant. Samantha is all set to debut as a producer with Shubham, releasing on May 9. And just as she steps into a new chapter professionally, fans can�t help but wonder if there�s a new chapter unfolding personally too. Her choices, both on and off-screen, have always carried a sense of self-assurance�and this one�s no different.

Rumours or not, Samantha continues to walk her path with grace, spark, and just the right amount of mystery. And if this temple run was meant to stay lowkey, well�nothing involving Samantha ever truly is.
