Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently resumed work after her battle with myositis and released her first health podcast. The actress talked about the auto-immune condition when she also recalled her separation from Naga Chaitanya. Even though Samantha did not name her former husband, she said that the year before myositis was “extremely difficult”.
“I remember specifically the year before I had this problem, it was an extremely difficult year for me. I specifically remember the day that I think my friend/partner/manager Himank, and I were traveling back from Mumbai. And this was in June of the year before last, and I remember telling him that finally I feel calm. I haven’t felt a little relaxed and a little calm in a very, very long time. And I finally feel like I can breathe and I can go to sleep, and I can now wake up and focus on my work and be the best that I can be at work. And I woke up with this condition,” Samantha said.
“The reason I wanted to do this podcast was because after the experience, the harrowing experience that I’ve been through and well, an autoimmune condition is lifelong, so with what I’m dealing with right now as well, I’d rather people be safe than sorry,” she added.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya dated for a few years before they tied the knot in 2017. However, the two announced their separation in October 2021 i.e. after four years of their marriage. Back then, they had issued a statement asking fans and followers for privacy as they ‘move on’.
Samantha had announced her break from acting after wrapping up the shoot for Citadel India in July 2023. Back then, the actress took to her Instagram handle to announce the same and shared that she will be prioritising her health in the coming months. “And it’s a wrap on #CitadelIndia. A break doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all when you know what’s coming @rajanddk @mensit The family I didn’t know I needed Thank you for helping me fight every single battle and never ever giving up on me..I wish more than anything in the world to make you proud..Thank you for the role of a lifetime.. i.e until you write me the next☺️♥️,” she had written.
On the work front, Samantha was last seen in Kushi. The romantic drama also starred Vijay Deverakonda in the lead. Next, Samantha will be seen in the Indian version of Citadel which also stars Varun Dhawan and is helmed by Raj and DK.
