New Delhi: Actress Samantha Prabhu recently opened up about her fight with the auto-immune condition called myositis. The actress is not letting her health problems come in the way of her professional commitments and have started promotion of her upcoming film ‘Yashoda’, which is set to hit screens on November 11. 

The actress spoke about her health condition in an interview with celebrity TV anchor Suma. The actress broke down while speaking about her health and said, "There are some good days, some bad. Some days, getting up from bed is difficult. Some days, I want to fight. Slowly the days I want to fight are getting more and more than the days I want to give up." 
 
Trashing reports that had claimed that the condition was life-threatening, the actress said, "It's been three months now. I want to clarify that I am not dying anytime soon. I saw a lot of articles that said life-threatening. Yes, this is an autoimmune condition and it is taking time. It is draining and it is tiring but I have always been a fighter and I am going to fight." 
 
Stating that the last three months have been very dark times, which have been very difficult, the actress disclosed that she had been taking high-dose medications and had been making never-ending trips to doctors. 
 
"I think that I have spoken about everything in life. When I wore fashionable clothes and did extraordinary photoshoots and showed that there is this glamourous lifestyle, I should also show that there is this not-so-glamourous life. If I don't do that, it will be wrong. People should know that everybody has good times and everybody has bad times. It doesn't matter if you are rich or famous. Everybody has good times and everybody has bad and it is important that everybody knows that," she said in the interview. 

Yashoda is written and directed by filmmaker duo Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan. The film also stars Unni Mukandan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Sampath Raj, Shatru, Madhurima, Kalpika Ganesh, Divya Sripada and Priyanka Sharma.
