New Delhi: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who was last seen in the period drama film ‘Shaakuntalam, on Thursday posted a few photos and posted a lengthy note on her journey of one year of being diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune condition.
The actor posted her photos and video from the Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade. She said the year gone-by was all about embracing a "forced new normal"
"It's been one year since the diagnosis. A year of forced new normal. Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for main course, forced shutdowns and forced restarts. A year of seeking meaning, reflection and introspection. Of professional failures too… to make things more interesting,"

"That sometimes it's not about grand successes, but that functioning forward is in itself a win. That I mustn't sit around waiting for things to be perfect again or wallowing in the past," she added.
Further in the post, the 36-year-old actor said she prayed last year not for blessings and gifts, but to find strength and peace.
"A year that has taught me that not everything goes your way all the time. And more importantly, that it's ok when it doesn't. That I must control the controllables, let go off the rest, and keep moving forward one step at a time...
"That I must hang on to love and those I love… and not give hate the power to affect me. There will be so many of you fighting far harder battles. I pray for you too. The gods may delay, but they never deny. They never deny peace, love, joy and strength to those who seek it. The only things worth seeking," she said.
The actor had revealed her diagnosis last year ahead of the release of her film 'Yashoda'.
Myositis is the name for a group of rare conditions that can cause muscles to become weak, tired and painful. It is usually caused by a problem with the immune system, where it mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
Samantha is currently shooting for the Indian chapter of Prime Video series 'Citadel' in Serbia.
