Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is gearing up for her upcoming film Shaakuntalam, has had a problem for the past two years.

It was a tough time for the actress as she separated from her husband Naga Chaitanya and was suffering from myositis last year, but she did not give up. Sam is a source of motivation and inspiration to not give up and fight back against what may come. The actress recently opened up about her breakup and how those two years changed her life.

Talking about myositis, the actress who was last seen in Yashoda and looking forward to Shaakuntam revealed that she was not diagnosed while shooting for these two films. She mentioned in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that during the filming of Shaakuntalam, she was physically fine but had another kind of personal struggle related to the divorce. She further added that the past two years have changed her a lot as a person mentally, physically and spiritually, which has made her adapt to whatever is thrown at her. “I don’t think they won. I still feel like I’m winning. And sometimes you know, you know when everything is good and normal, there’s no real growth there,” the Family Man actress said.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, in a conversation with Miss Malini, revealed that she was offered the song Oo Antavana by Pushpa in the middle of her breakup with Naga Chaitanya. She was advised by her family and friends to perform a song during such a delicate stage, but she challenged herself and did it, which later resulted in a hit. Speaking about her divorce, Samantha said: “I just thought, ‘why hide?’ I’ve done nothing wrong. I wasn’t going to wait for all the trolling, abuse and hate to go away and slowly crawl back like someone who committed a crime. I wouldn’t do that. I gave my marriage 100%, it didn’t work out. But I wasn’t going to kill myself and feel guilty for something I didn’t do. I liked the lyrics of the song. I liked how the character was positioned. It was just another character for me to play.” Also Read – Samantha Ruth Prabhu to Karisma Kapoor: Actresses who deserve loving partners after their bitter breakup
