Samantha found out she was pregnant while shooting Thassadiya
Samantha has been receiving attention for both her personal and professional life. During a candid interaction with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actress revealed that she found out she was pregnant while shooting for the popular Thassadiya song from Maa Inti Bangaaram.
The actress recalled that she had only just discovered her pregnancy when she had to perform the song. She was experiencing some sickness at the time but continued with the shoot and the dance steps. Looking back, Samantha said the timing seemed to fall into place naturally.
She also spoke about her excitement about becoming a mother. Samantha acknowledged that having a child is a major life change and said she understands why people describe parenthood as something that transforms your entire life. She added that she feels ready to embrace this new phase.
The pregnancy announcement came after Samantha was seen with a baby bump at an event linked to Maa Inti Bangaaram. The actress later confirmed the news in June, making the development official.
Why motherhood came as a surprise to Samantha and Raj
Samantha also opened up about how she and her husband Raj Nidimoru had viewed parenthood before the pregnancy. According to the actress, “Both Raj and I were okay with either. I was fine, and so was he. So, this was a surprise!”
For Samantha, the development appears to have brought a new perspective rather than a complete pause in her professional life. While motherhood will become an important part of her next chapter, the actress has indicated that she does not want to put unnecessary pressure on herself.She plans to take a short break and focus on what her body needs during this period. Samantha said she intends to listen to her body instead of forcing herself to maintain the same pace of work.
Samantha’s work plans remain active
Even as she prepares for motherhood, Samantha is not stepping away completely from her professional commitments. Her production banner, Tralala Moving Pictures, will continue to remain active.
The actress said she still has films under consideration for production and other business responsibilities that require her attention. She plans to balance these commitments while giving herself the time and space needed during this phase of her life.
Tralala Moving Pictures has also been built around Samantha’s interest in female representation and stories that give women a stronger voice. She has previously spoken about creating opportunities for new talent and backing stories with strong female characters.
For the unversed, Samantha and Raj also share a professional history that predates their relationship. She first worked with Raj and his creative partner DK on The Family Man 2 in 2021. The two later reunited professionally for Citadel: Honey Bunny in 2024.
Their relationship eventually moved beyond work, and they got married in December 2025 in a private ceremony.
Now, as Samantha prepares to enter motherhood, the actress appears to be taking the transition at her own pace.
