What Samantha said
A fan asked Samantha, ‘How do you feel reading comments on social media that might be positive or negative?’ In response, Samantha posted in the response, “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.”
‘The FOMO that reels create is wild’
Meanwhile, another fan asked her how to get over doomscrolling on Instagram. Samantha responded, “This is something I am scared of. I was telling Raj [Nidimoru] that 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. So I lock my Instagram, practice long-format books, one-hour podcasts and deliberately choose boredom. We all could use some rules.”
Samantha married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1 last year in an intimate wedding ceremony held at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. They announced the news through an Instagram post, sending fans into a frenzy. Prior to this, Samantha was married to actor Naga Chaitanya; the two parted ways in 2021 after four years of marriage. Raj was previously married to Shhyamali De. The couple tied the knot in 2015 and are believed to have separated in 2022.
