Samantha Ruth Prabhu Glows at Her Godh Bharai, While Amaal Mallik Clears Up ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ Credit Confusion

Expectant actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu couldn’t hide her joy when she posted a handful of pictures from her godh bharai ceremony, a ritual that marks the seventh month of pregnancy in many Indian families. In the snapshots she’s seen laughing, surrounded by bright marigold garlands, and gently holding her growing belly – pure, radiant, and unmistakably happy.

Beside her, filmmaker‑partner Raj Nidimoru stands like a proud guard, arms wrapped around her shoulders. The couple, who tied the knot in 2025, seems to be soaking in every bit of the traditional atmosphere. Samantha even took a moment to walk her followers through the Sri Vidya ceremony she observed – specifically the Kalaa Aavarana (Sri Kalpam) and the subsequent abhishekam. She explained that Kalaa Aavarana honors the 94 kalas of the divine feminine, channeling their energy through the mother‑to‑be’s seven chakras with sacred water and mantras. After the abhishekam, she sat on a Srichakra Yantra while the Devi Khadgamala verses were chanted, creating a protective shield for both her and the unborn child.

It’s a gentle reminder that behind the glitz of Bollywood, these stars still cherish age‑old customs, and Samantha’s candid captions reflect that sentiment. “Feeling blessed, feeling protected,” she wrote, adding a soft smiley that could have been placed anywhere – because who doesn’t love a little extra warmth?

Meanwhile, on a completely different front, composer Amaal Mallik found himself in the middle of a social‑media stir. Earlier this month, a celebratory post marking the 11th anniversary of the 2015 film Hero omitted his name and that of lyricist Kumaar from the credits of the hit song “Main Hoon Hero Tera.” Fans quickly pointed it out, and Mallik responded, clarifying that his earlier comment was not aimed at Salman Khan Films, the studio behind the movie.

“I was simply wondering why the credit was missing,” Mallik wrote, adding that he holds no ill‑will toward the production house. He emphasized that credit attribution matters to creators, especially when a song becomes an anthem for a generation. The composer’s measured tone turned what could have been a heated debate into a polite reminder about acknowledging artistic contributions.

Both stories, though unrelated, underline a familiar Bollywood theme: the intersection of personal milestones and professional integrity. Whether it’s a mother‑to‑be celebrating an age‑old ritual, or a music director nudging a studio for rightful acknowledgment, the industry’s human side shines through.
