Samantha Ruth Prabhu On Being Strong Through Her Divorce: 'I Don't See Myself Like That, I See All The Lows, I See Crying'
Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke about her separation from her husband Naga Chaitanya, her myositis diagnosis, and how difficult the last few months have been for her.
New Delhi: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is busy with the promotions of her upcoming film Shaakuntalam, recently spoke about her separation from her husband Naga Chaitanya, her myositis diagnosis, and how difficult the last few months have been for her.
In an interview with Zoom, the actor spoke about her divorce from Naga in 2021, the trolling that followed, and how she handled it. When asked about her grace throughout, she said she was just being herself.
“Maybe from a third person’s point of view it’s that, I was just being myself. I don’t know any other way to react. Nobody else is deciding for me, there’s no one in my head, it’s my natural reaction."
"When you define me as strong and independent, I don't see myself like that, I see all of the lows, all the days I didn’t want to get out of bed, I see the crying, I see the constant asking my mom if I’m going to be okay. That’s not superhuman strength. There’s a little girl in there as well, who is weak and wants to get better.”
Speaking about her myositis diagnosis, she shared she had the darkest thoughts during the period. “I was in a very, very dark place during the toughest times of this condition. You name it, I had the most darkest thoughts. And then I realised that I’m not going to do anything about these dark thoughts. If I’m not going to let it destroy me, it means that I’m going to have to start putting one step forward. And every day after that, I took it one step at a time, and I’ve had amazing people, family and close friends, who’ve stood by me every single day,” she told zoom in the interview.
On the work front, Samantha's upcoming epic love story 'Shaakuntalam' will be released in theatres on April 14. 'Shaakuntalam' is a Telugu language mythological drama written and directed by Gunasekhar.
She will also be starring alongside Varun Dhawan in the Indian installment of the 'Citadel' universe, the global-event series from Prime Video and the Russo Brothers' AGBO.
The untitled 'Citadel' series based out of India is being helmed by renowned creator duo Raj and DK, who are the showrunners and directors. The local installment is written by Sita R. Menon, along with Raj and DK.
