Overview
- The couple confirmed the pregnancy during promotions for Samantha’s film Maa Inti Bangaaram in June and Samantha has since spoken publicly about the news.
- Samantha told Pinkvilla she “has always wanted to be a mother” and said pregnancy has given her a new kind of strength and purpose, and she is currently on a maternity break.
- She shared babymoon photos from Hua Hin, Thailand, showing her baby bump, and has said she will take a short maternity leave after finishing existing commitments and then return to acting.
- Maa Inti Bangaaram crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide, a milestone hailed in coverage as a major commercial success for a female‑led Telugu film that coincided with her announcement.
- Background context includes the couple’s December 2025 yogic marriage at the Isha Yoga Centre and Samantha’s earlier health‑related break for myositis, while public reports give conflicting due‑date estimates that remain unconfirmed.
