Hyderabad, Nov 10: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared a new picture of her baby bump on social media, opting for a relaxed, everyday look instead of a conventional glamorous maternity photoshoot.

Samantha posted a candid photograph on Instagram in which she is seen lounging comfortably on a couch while gently holding her baby bump. She wore a red top paired with white trousers and black sunglasses.

Keeping the caption playful and brief, the actor wrote, “Consider this my maternity shoot.”

The photograph quickly attracted attention, with fans flooding the comments section with congratulatory messages and affectionate remarks. One follower called her “The Coolest mommy-to-be ever!”, while another commented, “Plot twist: the baby is already stealing the spotlight.” A third wrote, “Junior Samantha soon.”

Samantha and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru got married in an intimate ceremony at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore on December 1, 2025. The couple recently celebrated this phase of their lives with a traditional baby shower ceremony, known as Seemantham, at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore.

The actor announced her pregnancy in June 2026 at the Hyderabad success meet of her film 'Maa Inti Bangaaram'. Speaking to the media, she said she planned to take a break from work after completing her existing commitments to focus on motherhood.

She also reassured fans that the break would be temporary and that she intended to return to the big screen after becoming a mother.

On the professional front, Samantha was last seen in 'Maa Inti Bangaaram', which she also co-produced. The film reportedly crossed Rs 100 crore at the box office.
