While Raj and Samantha haven’t said anything publicly about their relationship, Reddit decided to dig out clues and realised that they might have been engaged by February this year. After Samantha’s photo dump from the wedding featured pictures of Raj putting a massive ring on her finger, and another of her showing it off, fans realised that it looked a little too familiar. They even posted pictures of when Samantha wore it earlier this year, around Valentine’s Day. Some wondered what the ring was made of.
