Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known for her grace and beauty, opened up about facing challenging times in a recent interview. After announcing her divorce, she was diagnosed with myositis, a serious illness. Reflecting on the toughest days, Samantha shared that the year preceding her health issue was particularly difficult.
Recalling a moment during travel with her friend/partner/manager, Himank, Samantha expressed relief, saying, “Finally, I feel calm. I haven’t felt relaxed in a very long time.” However, shortly after, she woke up to the reality of her myositis diagnosis.
She said,”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.”
Describing the experience as hollowing, Samantha expressed her gratitude for being able to breathe freely today.
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, once a beloved couple in the South industry, ended their four-year marriage in October 2021. The separation stirred emotions among fans, and both actors have since moved on with their lives.
