New Delhi: Samantha Ruth Prabhu discussed her public divorce in a rare statement. The actress was married to her 'Majili' co-star Naga Chaitanya for six years, before their separation in 2021. One of the most talked-about subjects in 2021 was the divorce of the Telugu stars. Naga Chaitanya had announced earlier this year that their divorce had finalised. Despite the fact that she and Chaitanya have remained silent regarding the reason of their split, Samantha claimed that the auto-immune disease known as myositis, the failed marriage, and box office failures seemed like a triple whammy.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Samantha was asked if she makes a conscious effort to include her followers in her highs and lows. The actress explained, “When I hit an all-time low of, well, a failed marriage, and my health and work were getting affected, it was like a triple whammy; boom, boom, boom. You know, people go down for far less than what I endured for the last two years or so. During that time, I read about actors who have gone through health issues and made a comeback, or suffered trolling or anxiety. And reading their stories helped me. It gave me strength to know that if they did it, I can, too.”
She further continued, "It’s important to recognise that being a loved star in this nation is an incredible gift; so be responsible for it, be honest and real, and tell your story. And it’s not always about how many super hits and blockbusters one has, how many awards have been won, the perfect body, or the most beautiful outfits. It’s the pain, the hardships, the lows. I don’t care that my lows have been so public, I’m actually quite empowered by them. I know I am going to fight with all I have, and I hope that people who are in a similar situation, also have the strength to just keep fighting."
Samantha is currently on a break from work and has been vacationing in different parts of the world.
