Samantha and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru are making headlines after their vacation photos went viral on social media. The duo, who have been rumored to be in a relationship for some time, have now publicly stepped out together. Most recently, they shared pictures from their trip to Detroit, where Samantha attended the 2025 Telugu Association of North America (TANA) event. The photos show Samantha and Raj looking comfortable and happy, with one image showing Raj with his arm around Samantha, both smiling, and another showing them enjoying a meal at a restaurant side by side.

However, the public display of affection has ignited a storm on social media, especially after Raj's wife, Shhyamali De, posted some cryptic stories on her Instagram. Following the viral pictures of Raj and Samantha, Shhyamali has been quite active online, posting messages that many believe are directed at the situation. One of her Instagram stories shared a message titled "Life’s Great Golden Rule" and discussed the meanings of different religions. In the very next story, she posted a conversation between Arjun and Krishna, where Lord Krishna tells Arjun that "Dharma alone matters, not victory or defeat."

The cryptic messages have led many to speculate that Shhyamali is standing by "Dharma" and implying that, even if she faces defeat in her battle with her husband, she will remain true to her moral values. Netizens have quickly linked these posts to the recent viral photos of Samantha and Raj, further fueling rumors about marital issues.

The situation has attracted significant attention, with social media users and digital media outlets discussing the potential turmoil in Raj and Shhyamali's marriage. As more photos and cryptic posts surface, the intrigue continues to grow around the personal lives of these celebrities.

While Samantha and Raj's relationship has been a topic of speculation for months, their recent trip has certainly amplified the conversation, bringing both praise and criticism. Fans are eagerly watching the unfolding drama, while Shhyamali’s cryptic messages seem to suggest that she is navigating the situation with a sense of dignity, focusing on what she believes to be morally right.
