Filmmaker Raj Nidimoru of Raj & DK-fame celebrated his birthday on August 4. His wife, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, seems to have kept the celebrations offline this year even as fans waited for a birthday post from her. Days after his birthday, she posted inside pictures as part of her August dump. It includes a Family Man dessert.
