The couple drew a large crowd.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is expecting her first child with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru; sources close to her have confirmed.
The 39-year-old actress is reportedly due to give birth sometime before the end of this calendar year.
The news comes as confirmation of long-standing speculation among fans about her possible pregnancy in recent months.
Initial buzz around Samantha’s pregnancy began after she appeared at a celebration marking the success of Maa Inti Bangaaram.
Videos from the gathering surfaced across social media platforms and immediately sparked widespread speculation among her devoted fans.
The clips showed Samantha and Raj cutting a cake together as the film Maa Inti Bangaaram received its initial audience response.
In the videos, several social media users began speculating about what appeared to be changes to her physical appearance.
Many online observers focused on what they believed was a visible baby bump in the footage shared widely.
Samantha is seen in the clips wearing a white T-shirt paired with blue jeans in casual styling.
Raj is dressed in a brown button-down shirt layered over a black round-neck T-shirt with jeans and a cap.
Neither Samantha nor Raj has made any official public comment or statement regarding the pregnancy speculation so far.
Before the film’s theatrical release, Samantha and Raj visited the Tirumala temple with the entire film production team.
They went there to offer prayers for the film’s success at the Lord Balaji temple with the cast.
A video from that temple visit also went viral on social media platforms across the internet quickly.
The footage showed Raj pulling Samantha close and shielding her as they moved through an assembled crowd.
The protective gesture came as they exited the temple premises after completing their prayers and rituals together.
The couple drew a large crowd of devotees at the temple, given their respective levels of fame.
Members of their film team helped clear a path through the crowd to ensure their safe passage.
Raj is seen in the clip keeping an arm around Samantha while helping her navigate the gathering.
The moment drew considerable attention online because Raj has largely kept his personal life away from the public spotlight.
He is rarely seen displaying affection openly with Samantha in public settings or on social media platforms.
The clips also came shortly after a promotional event where he playfully refused to say “I love you” to Samantha.
That earlier exchange had drawn lighthearted reactions from fans and media observers following the promotional appearance.
Samantha and Raj first worked together professionally on the acclaimed streaming series The Family Man 2.
Their professional association later continued when they collaborated on another major project, Citadel: Honey Bunny.
The couple’s relationship drew sustained public interest as reports suggested their partnership gradually evolved into romance.
Their professional collaboration appeared to gradually transform into a close and deeply personal romantic bond over time.
