Samantha Ruth Prabhu made a rare comment about her public divorce. The actress was married to Naga Chaitanya before they went their separate ways in 2021. The Telugu stars’ divorce was among the most talked about topics in 2021. It was earlier this year that Naga Chaitanya confirmed that their divorce came through last year. Although Samantha and Chaitanya have remained tight-lipped about the reason behind the split, Samantha said that the failed marriage, auto-immune condition called myositis and flop films felt like a triple whammy.
Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar, Samantha was asked if she consciously ensures that her fans are a part of 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.”
“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,” she added.
Samantha is on a break from acting now. She has been focusing on her health and has been travelling to different parts of the world.
