Dating rumours intensify after Riddhi Kumar praises Prabhas

Prabhas is coming to entertain movie lovers with his horror thriller The Raja Saab. The film directed by Maruti is releasing on 9 Jan 2026.

The makers are promoting the film in an extravagant manner and the film features Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar. During the pre release event, Riddhi Kumar praised Prabhas and this triggered rumours about her dating with Prabhas.

She said “This Raja Saab movie is an absolute entertainer. Thank you, Maruthi garu, for showing out darling (Prabhas’ nickname) exactly as he is. I think Maruthi sir has done an incredible job in bringing out all the details that Prabhas garu has. He put them in Raja Saab and made him into an absolute darling in the film.”

She continued  “I just realised that I wasn’t prepared enough. So, I didn’t get a chance to thank everyone who made it possible for me to stand here. First and foremost, thank you so much, Prabhas. I am here because of you; you took me in the film. I am wearing the saree that you gave me, and I saved it for three years, just to wear it tonight. I’m so grateful to have you in my life.”

Fans reacted in the following way.

One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “Is #Prabhas Dating #RiddhiKumar?” Another wondered, “Paaapam secret ichadu leak chesesindi (He gave it to her in secret and she leaked it).” One fan felt suspicious, “Something is fishy,” while another commented, “Idhentra edho pelli cheskuntunatlu saree have u in my life antundhi (Why is she talking like she’s getting married to him about the saree and having him in her life?)”

Some fans however came in support of Prabhas.

One fan wrote, “Saree isthe dating ah, chala mandiki food pedathadu ante vallani kuda dating ah (Gifting a saree doesn’t mean he’s dating her. Does it also mean he’s dating everyone he feeds?)” Another wrote, “She worked in radhe shaym also na..at that time he would have given as thank you gesture.. nothing more.”
