Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu opens up on her divorce

Samantha Ruth Prabhu who is gearing up for her upcoming movie “Shaakuntalam” had a troublesome last two years. She underwent a dark phase in her life experiencing divorce and being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. It was a challenging time for the actress as she separated from her husband, Naga Chaitanya and last year suffered myositis but she didn’t give up. Sam is a powerhouse of motivation and inspiration to not give up and fight back against what may come. The actress recently opened up on her separation and how these two years changed her life.

Talking about myositis the actress, who was last seen in “Yashoda” and looking forward to “Shaakuntalam” revealed that she was not diagnosed during the shoot of these two films. She mentioned in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that during the “Shaakuntalam” shoot, she was physically fine but had another kind of personal struggle, referring to divorce. She further added, these last two years have changed her a lot as a person mentally, physically, and spiritually, which has made her adapt to everything that is thrown at her. “I don’t think they won. I still feel like I’m winning. And sometimes you know, you know, when everything is good and normal, there is no real growth there,” said The Family Man actress.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, in a conversation with Miss Malini, revealed she was offered “Oo Antavana” song from “Pushpa” in the middle of the separation with Naga Chaitanya. She was advised by her family and friends not to do an item song during such a delicate stage but she challenged herself and did it which later resulted in a hit. Talking about her divorce, Samantha said, “I just thought, ‘why should I hide?’ I did not do anything wrong. I was not going to wait for all of the trolling, abuse and hate to go away and slowly creep back in like someone who committed a crime. I was not going to do that. I gave my marriage 100%, it did not work out. But, I was not going to beat myself up and feel guilty for something I didn’t do. I loved the lyrics of the song. I loved how the character was positioned. For me, it was just another character I was playing.” (Agencies)
