Commenting on Samantha’s post, the fan wrote, “How about Samaira (Girl) or Samaraj (Boy)? Perfect mix of Sam & Raj! Take care, Samantha garu!"
Samantha responded with a humorous remark, writing, “SAMRAJ. A tad full of ourselves, don’t you think?", along with a laughing emoji.
The actress also shared another glimpse of her pregnancy journey on Instagram story. In a mirror selfie, Samantha proudly showed off her pregnancy glow and added, “I’d like to keep the skin and hair, please."
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru are expecting their first child. The actress is currently on maternity leave and has previously spoken about her excitement about embracing motherhood.

Despite being on a break from her professional commitments, Samantha has continued to maintain an active lifestyle during her pregnancy. The actress has shared pictures and videos from her workout sessions on social media.
In one such post, she explained how her approach to fitness has changed during this phase. Samantha wrote, “Training looks a little different these days. Less about pushing harder. More about listening better."
