Samantha Spotted with Visible Baby Bump
Amidst the success celebrations, Samantha was seen celebrating with the crew of the film, including her co-producer and husband, Raj Nidimoru. What grabbed attention was the visible belly bump she had during the clicks.
If rumors are to be believed, the 39-year-old actress is pregnant and is expecting a child soon. Of course, an official announcement is yet to be made by the newly married couple.
Fans React to Pregnancy Speculation
Yet, fans can’t keep their calm. After all, there can’t be a better point in her career to become a mother; her latest release, co-produced by her spouse, is off to a thunderous start at the ticket window.
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru, one half of the acclaimed director duo Raj & DK known for The Family Man series, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The couple first met while working on The Family Man 2 and later collaborated on Citadel: Honey Bunny.
The pregnancy rumors remain unconfirmed, but the timing couldn’t be more perfect for the actress who is currently basking in the success of Maa Inti Bangaaram, her first major theatrical release since the wedding.
