Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently on a maternity break, embracing this new chapter of her life. The actor has been sharing glimpses of her pregnancy journey with fans on social media. In her latest photo dump, Samantha proudly flaunted her baby bump and pregnancy glow. She also reacted to a fan’s baby name suggestions, depending on whether she welcomes a boy or a girl.
After the success of their recent release, Maa Inti Bangaaram, Samantha announced her maternity break. Directed by Nandini Reddy, with Raj Nidimoru serving as the creator, the film grossed over ₹ 100 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing female-led Telugu film.
The mom-to-be was seen flaunting her flawless, glowing skin in two of the pictures. The rest were mirror selfies in which Samantha could be seen showing off her baby bump with a big smile on her face. In another picture, the actor opted for a top-angle shot as she sat on a plane and gave a glimpse of her baby bump. Samantha kept the caption simple, adding just a brown and white heart. Didn’t expect to feel this empowered by this whole thing. Thought I’d be mostly overwhelmed. When another fan asked if she was enjoying this phase, Samantha replied, “With all my heart.
During an AMA session, Samantha also revealed that she is enjoying her pregnancy and has already gained 11 kg. Samantha was married to actor Naga Chaitanya from 2017 to 2021, while Raj Nidimoru was previously married to Shhyamali De. Samantha and Raj sparked dating rumours around 2023 after having previously worked together on The Family Man Season 2 (2021) and Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024). In 2025, Raj and Samantha made their relationship official at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore with a traditional yogic ceremony.
When a fan wrote, “Motherhood is setting the bar higher for myself,” the actor responded, “Love that for you! On Sunday, Samantha delighted fans with stunning pictures from her pregnancy journey.
