The actress recently celebrated a private baby shower with husband Raj Nidimoru, and pictures from the intimate gathering have now taken over social media.

Samantha‘s baby shower pictures delight fans online

The traditional baby shower photos soon went viral, and the fans showered love and blessings on the couple. Samantha looked stunning in a maroon embroidered ethnic outfit with subtle gold detailing, teamed with minimal jewellery and her natural makeup. Raj Nidimoru complemented her look with a maroon silk kurta and white bottoms. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore last December, are expecting their first child later this year. Earlier, Samantha had made the announcement even more special to her fans by sharing the happy news of her pregnancy during the success celebrations of ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’.

A memorable year both personally and professionally

The baby shower comes after a remarkable year for Samantha. Her latest film, ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram,’ directed by B.V. Nandini Reddy, emerged as a massive blockbuster by earning more than Rs 100 crore worldwide. The film also created history by becoming the first Telugu female-led film to cross the Rs 100-crore mark at the global box office. Samantha and Raj Nidimoru jointly backed the project, making its success even more special. The film, which also starred Gulshan Devaiah and Diganth Manchale, is set to begin streaming on JioHotstar from July 17.

Samantha plans a return after motherhood

While Samantha is currently taking a break from acting to focus on her pregnancy, she already has exciting plans for her comeback. The actress is likely to join the team of ‘Maa Inti Bangaaram’ for its sequel after her maternity break. She also has the much-awaited web series ‘Rakt Brahmānd: The Bloody Kingdom’ in the pipeline alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, Wamiqa Gabbi and Ali Fazal. As she embraces motherhood, fans are celebrating every step of the way with her, and this baby shower is another treasured moment in Samantha’s inspiring journey.
