'99% of time, I listen to him': Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals how husband Raj Nidimoru keeps her grounded after marriage despite life in the spotlight

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaaram. The Telugu movie will also be released in Tamil as Engal Thangam. Directed by BV Nandini Reddy, the project marks Samantha's return to Telugu cinema in a lead role. As part of the film's promotions, the actress has been giving interviews and sharing insights into both her professional and personal life. In one such conversation, Samantha spoke candidly about her marriage to filmmaker Raj Nidimoru and revealed how he helps her stay grounded despite living in the constant glare of the spotlight.

How Samantha and Raj manage personal and professional life

During an interview with Galatta Plus, Samantha was asked whether she and Raj keep their personal and professional lives separate, especially considering that both are deeply involved in the entertainment industry.

The actress revealed that there is hardly any distinction between the two when it comes to their relationship. According to Samantha, almost every important decision is discussed together. She said that everything, whether related to work or daily life, becomes a shared conversation between them.




Samantha explained that Raj is not just someone she turns to for film-related advice. Even something "as simple as posting on Instagram" often becomes a topic of discussion between the couple.

Why Raj's opinion matters so much

Speaking about what makes Raj's perspective special, Samantha said, "He has such an such a real perspective on things even though he is in this industry, which kind of alienates you and kind of puts you in a bubble. and he is so um in touch with reality you know so I think that I love to bounce off every every decision that I make with. 99% of the time I listen to him, so it's pretty cool to have that kind of partner at home."

The actress shared that this quality is what makes his opinions valuable to her. She said she enjoys discussing almost every decision with him because he offers a balanced and practical viewpoint.

A creative partnership beyond marriage

Samantha and Raj's relationship is not limited to their personal lives. The two also share a professional partnership, now through Maa Inti Bangaaram.

Apart from playing the lead role, Samantha is backing the project under her production banner, Tralala Moving Pictures. Raj Nidimoru and Himank Duvvuru are associated with the film as co-producers, making the project a collaborative effort on multiple levels.

About Maa Inti Bangaaram

The upcoming action-drama also stars Diganth Manchale, Gulshan Devaiah and Gautami in key roles. The film has generated major attention ahead of its release, particularly because it marks Samantha's return to Telugu cinema as a leading lady.



Industry reports suggest that the film has been made on a budget of around Rs 25 crore to Rs 30 crore. According to the makers, the project has already recovered its costs through pre-release deals involving theatrical and non-theatrical rights.

In a statement, the team said strong demand from distributors and buyers across various platforms helped close all major deals before the film's release. The makers described the response as an encouraging sign for a female-led Telugu film in the current market.

As Maa Inti Bangaaram prepares to hit theatres, Samantha's comments about Raj Nidimoru have also caught the attention of fans. While audiences are eager to see her return to the big screen, many are equally intrigued by the supportive partnership she says plays a key role in helping her figuring out both fame and everyday life.
