When Samantha said she wanted to be a mother
Following her pregnancy news, Samantha's old interview where she opened up about her desire to experience motherhood has surfaced.
In an interview with Times Now, she had said, "I don’t think it’s too late. I still have dreams of being a mother and, yeah, of course, I would love to be a mother. I have always wanted to be a mother; it’s quite a beautiful experience. I am looking forward to it. People often worry about age, but I think there is no time in life when you cannot be a mother."
Samantha and Raj's wedding
Samantha and Raj Nidimoru got married in a private ceremony in a Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony at the Linga Bhairavi Devi temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore in December last year.
It was an intimate ceremony, attended by the couple's close family and friends.
Samantha wore a red and gold silk saree and accessorised with traditional gold jewellery while Raj Nidimoru was in a white kurta with pyjama and layered it with a beige Nehru jacket.
Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya. Both divorced in 2021, while Raj Nidimoru was married to Shhyamali De for several years before they reportedly divorced in 2022.
