Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru share heartfelt airport hug; fans hail him as a ‘green flag’

At a recent airport visit, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru shared a tender moment that captured the hearts of fans worldwide. The pair were seen stepping out of a car at the departure area, with Samantha sporting an oversized pink shirt and white trousers, a shawl draped over her shoulders and a large tote bag in hand. Before boarding her flight, the couple exchanged a warm goodbye hug that went viral on social media, prompting comments such as “Raj is such a green flag,” “God has blessed Samantha with a good and caring husband,” and “That hug was so emotional.”

The affectionate display came as no surprise to those who have followed the couple’s journey. Samantha and Raj first hinted at a relationship during their collaboration on the 2024 film “Citadel: Honey Bunny.” Their romance was confirmed in December 2025 when they married in a yogic ceremony at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore. The couple’s bond has since been highlighted by Samantha’s public posts and the couple’s shared personal milestones.

In addition to their public romance, the pair are now expecting their first child together. Samantha announced her pregnancy at a success meet for her film “Maa Inti Bangaaram” in June 2026. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, she revealed that the news came as a surprise: “I had reached a place where I was okay… I was fine, and so was he. So, this is a surprise. The first day I was shooting for the song ‘Thassadiya,’ I found out.” She expressed excitement about the life‑changing experience of parenthood, stating, “Everyone tells me that having a child changes your entire life. I think I am ready for that change.”

While Samantha’s divorce from Naga Chaitanya was finalized in 2021, details about Raj’s previous marriage remain unclear. Nonetheless, the couple’s public appearances and statements have solidified their status as a beloved on‑screen and off‑screen duo. Fans continue to celebrate their love story, with many expressing hope and joy for the forthcoming addition to their family.
