Samantha Ruth Prabhu Asks People To Be Kind; Says 'You Never Know What Battles…'

In the last couple of years, Samantha has had a lot going on the personal front.

New Delhi: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is gradually becoming more active on social media after a long time. Earlier, Samantha shared a rather different post for Valentine's Day. Now, on Wednesday, Samantha shared a selfie asking to be kind when they don't know the battle they are fighting. Samantha is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'Shaakuntalam'.

On Wednesday, Samantha shared a series of pictures through her Instagram wherein she also shared a selfie in which we see a rather closed up look of her face. She wore a gray outfit in the picture and wrote alongside it, "You never know what battles people fight...Be kind!!.”

Earlier, last week it was announced that Samantha's 'Shaakuntalam' was delayed for release. The makers of the film shared the announcement on Twitter without sharing apparent reasons behind the delay. 

In the last couple of years, Samantha has had a lot going on the personal front. Last November, she was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Myositis. Last month, an emotional Samantha said her love for cinema hasn’t changed amid all the recent life struggles while speaking at the trailer launch of 'Shaakuntalam'.

No matter how many struggles I face in life, one thing won’t change. That’s how much I love cinema and cinema loves me back. I strongly believe that this love will grow manifold with Shaakuntalam,” she had said at the trailer launch.

Samantha's films also have allegedly been affected by her health commitments. During a promotional interview for the film, Samantha said,"As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I’ve felt even taking one more step would be difficult. But when I look back, I wonder I’ve gone through so much and have come this far. I’m here to fight.”

“I want to clear one thing. I saw a lot of articles describing my condition as life-threatening. The stage I’m in, it’s not life-threatening. At the moment, I’m not dead yet. I don’t think those headlines were very necessary,” she had clarified about her condition not being life-threatening.
