Since then, Samantha has appeared extremely happy in her personal life. She has also been regularly sharing pregnancy updates on social media. Over the past few days, she has posted several pictures showing how she is spending her holiday during pregnancy.
Now, Samantha has revealed an important detail about her pregnancy, saying that the good news came as a surprise even to her. According to the actress, she and producer Raj Nidimoru had reached a point where they were completely comfortable with the idea of not having a child and had no problem with it. They were satisfied with their lives.
The couple, who officially announced their relationship in December last year, shared the good news in June this year that they would soon become parents. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Samantha said that before becoming pregnant, both she and Raj were prepared to accept any outcome. She said, "I was in a mental state where I was okay with that. Perhaps Raj and I had agreed that we might not have children. I was also okay with the idea that we should consider having a child."
Samantha Ruth Prabhu also revealed how she felt when she learned that she was pregnant. She said, "I found out about the pregnancy on the first day when we started shooting for the song 'Thasadiya'. I had to go and do the dance steps. I was feeling a little uncomfortable at that time. I was sick. I think everything went well. Now I am very excited. Everyone tells me that having a baby changes your entire life. I feel that I am ready for that change."
Samantha's film 'Inti Bangaram' was released in theatres in June. The following day, she announced her pregnancy to the world. Since making the announcement during the film's promotion, she has continued to share videos and pictures from her pregnancy journey. Raj has also often been seen giving her plenty of time and support.
Rumours about Samantha and Raj's dating began during the shooting of 'Citadel: Honey Bunny'. Before that, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya's divorce became public in 2021. However, it is still not known whether Raj divorced his former wife Shyamali De. Samantha married Raj Nidimoru on December 1, 2025.
Samantha's latest comments provide a closer look at how unexpectedly her pregnancy unfolded, after she and Raj had already come to terms with the possibility of not having children.
