Samantha Ruth Prabhu Discusses Sharing ‘True Self and Vulnerabilities’ Online, Admits Trolling ‘Is Difficult’

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke out about dealing with online trolling and the challenges of being her true self on social media. The actress revealed that while it isn’t easy, she has found a sweet spot in her relationship with social media. Samantha admitted that sharing her weaknesses, strengths, and everything in between can be incredibly fulfilling, despite the potential for negative backlash.

This revelation comes on the heels of Samantha being trolled for an alleged ‘fake accent’ during the London premiere of Citadel earlier this year. Despite the criticism, Samantha remains open and authentic on social media, refusing to be deterred by online negativity.

Currently, Samantha is taking a break from acting due to battling an autoimmune condition called Myositis. She recently shared a glimpse of her Cryotherapy treatment, showing her standing in a tub-like structure while meditating.

In terms of her acting career, Samantha was last seen in the romantic drama “Kushi,” which received mixed reviews but performed well at the box office, grossing over Rs 70 crore. Next, she is set to star in the Indian adaptation of “Citadel” alongside Varun Dhawan. The project is being helmed by director duo Raj and DK, with the storyline closely connected to the original show.

Samantha’s candid comments shed light on the challenges of being in the public eye, navigating social media scrutiny, and prioritizing mental and physical health in the entertainment industry.
