Away from the frenetic pace and chaos of everyday life, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has taken a much needed break, for self-care. Having said that, she recently gave a glimpse of her red light therapy with her pooch.
Samantha is currently on a break from acting and is battling an autoimmune condition called Myositis. In a recent interview, the actress opened up on online negativity and recalled being trolled for presenting her ‘true self, weaknesses, and strengths’ on social media.
Apart from being a stellar actress and performer, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is also a strong advocate of physical well-being and mental health. Ever since she has opened up about her struggle with the auto-immune disease Myositis, she has been strongly emphasising the need for physical and mental well-being. Recently, on her podcast, the actress shared that it’s not easy to connect with or get through her fans to talk about something other than her entertainment graph.
The actress, on her podcast, opened up on her challenges and shared, “I have a fan base that is probably more interested in entertainment, fashion, and make-up. So, making that transition into health and advocating mental health is not really an easy one. I have to change perceptions, and that takes time, but it’s okay.”
However, the actress shared that she is committed to the cause and is extremely patient with it. “This is the cause that is closest to my heart, and I’m willing to put in that time and effort. If I can bring about some change even with a handful of people, I’ll be very happy because somewhere I believe this is my calling; this is what I’m meant to be doing. I’ve always been someone who follows my heart in making my decisions, and my heart really does tell me that this is the right path,” she shared.
Samantha, who would soon be seen in Citadel: Honey Bunny, also spoke about how mental and physical health are connected. “You can’t be healthy physically if you are not looking after your mental health, and the two go hand-in-hand. That’s why I strongly advocate for just following a few simple practices that help with good mental health and, in turn, good physical health.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Samantha was last seen in Kushi, the romantic drama which also starred Vijay Deverakonda in the lead. The film gained mixed reviews from all and earned over Rs 70 crore at the box office.
