Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set for the release of her upcoming Telugu action-drama Maa Inti Bangaram, and ahead of its theatrical debut, the actor connected with fans through an engaging AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Instagram. From addressing social media negativity to opening up about her digital habits and personal life, Samantha’s candid responses struck a chord with her followers.
During the interaction, one fan asked how she feels when reading both positive and negative comments online. Samantha’s reply was firm and self-assured. “Praise doesn’t move me. Trolls don’t either. But if you bring negativity into my home, I will block you. The same way I keep my space clean, I keep this page clean. Being blocked doesn’t mean you affected me. It just means you’re not welcome here,” she wrote.
Her statement reflected a clear boundary between public engagement and personal space. Samantha emphasized that curating her social media environment is an extension of maintaining her own well-being. Rather than allowing negativity to influence her, she chooses to filter it out entirely.
Another fan raised a relatable concern—how to overcome doomscrolling on Instagram. Samantha admitted that this is something she actively struggles with. She shared that she recently discussed it with her husband, filmmaker Raj Nidimoru. Reflecting on her childhood discipline, she said, “When I was a child, I could set a timetable to study and just follow it, no distractions. I don’t know if I have the same muscle anymore. The FOMO that reels create is wild.”
To counter the addictive nature of social media, Samantha revealed that she has adopted conscious habits. “So I lock my Instagram, practice long-format books, one-hour podcasts and deliberately choose boredom. We all could use some rules,” she added. Her honest admission about the fear of losing focus resonated with many fans navigating similar challenges in the digital age.
On the personal front, Samantha recently entered a new chapter in her life. She married Raj Nidimoru on December 1 last year in an intimate ceremony held at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. The couple announced their wedding through a heartfelt Instagram post, surprising and delighting fans.
Before her marriage to Raj, Samantha was married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The former couple parted ways in 2021 after four years of marriage. Raj Nidimoru was previously married to Shhyamali De; the two tied the knot in 2015 and reportedly separated in 2022. Despite public scrutiny surrounding her personal life, Samantha has continued to focus on her career and personal growth.
Professionally, Samantha has an exciting lineup ahead. Maa Inti Bangaram is scheduled to hit theatres on May 15. The film is produced by Raj Nidimoru, Samantha herself, and Himank Duvvuru, marking a collaborative effort that blends personal and professional partnerships. The project also reunites Samantha with director Nandini Reddy, following their successful outing with Oh! Baby, which became a blockbuster and won widespread acclaim.
In addition to this Telugu action-drama, Samantha is also working with filmmaker duo Raj & DK on the ambitious project Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. The fantasy drama has already generated significant buzz and is expected to showcase Samantha in a powerful new avatar.
Balancing personal milestones with professional achievements, Samantha continues to evolve both on and off screen. Through her recent AMA session, she offered fans not only updates about her upcoming projects but also insight into her mindset—one rooted in boundaries, discipline, and mindful living.
