Samantha Controversies

  • In December 2013, Samantha created a stir by posting a controversial tweet on her Twitter account. Samantha criticised the depiction of actress Kriti Sanon crawling behind actor Mahesh Babu on the beach, who looks back at Kriti disapprovingly. Samantha tweeted that the poster was “deeply regressive” and stated that it was offensive by the makers to depict women like animals. The tweet received an adversely storming response from Mahesh Babu’s fans, who launched a scathing attack on her online and targeted abuse at the actress. Her opinions were later backed by actor Siddharth and directors Sekhar Kammula and Nandini Reddy, who also resultantly faced similar abuse before Mahesh Babu apologised.

Samantha Disease

Samantha Ruth Prabhu breaks her silence over her health and announces that she has the autoimmune disease myositis.

Samantha Disease

I have the ability to handle the apparently endless problems that life throws at me because of the love and connection I have with every one of you. I was given the diagnosis with myositis, an autoimmune disease, a few months ago. I had hoped to post this when it entered remission. However, it’s taking a bit longer than I had anticipated.

She continued, I’m starting to see that we don’t always have to put on a brave face. I’m still having a hard time accepting this vulnerability. The medical professionals are optimistic that I will soon make a full recovery. I’ve had good days and horrible days, both physically and mentally, and even on the days when I feel like I can’t go another day like this, that feeling eventually passes. It must only indicate that I am one day closer to recovery, I suppose. I cherish you. THIS WILL ALSO PASS.
