MUMBAI: Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the biggest names down South. With her performance in The Family Man season 2 and her special number in Pushpa: The Rise, the actress grabbed the attention of the Hindi audience as well. Last year, unfortunately, the actress was diagnosed with Myositis, and posted about it on social media. She has also been in the news for her separation with actor Naga Chaitanya.
In a recent interview, Samantha spoke about her experiences, upbringing and how she has been a hustler. She said, “I used to believe that exhaustion and the need for rest were signs of weakness. I was proud of being a hustler, thriving on only six hours of sleep, and being exceptionally productive throughout the day. Despite feeling exhausted, I refused to acknowledge it, working tirelessly without a break for 13 years.”
Samantha further added, “Growing up, I didn't have a luxurious childhood, so success was my focus from an early age. I always felt intense pressure to 'Make It' in life. Constantly fed with the notion that I wasn't good enough, so that became an intense motivation for me to succeed at any cost.”
The gorgeous actress revealed that people assume that, “"acting as glamorous, which it is, but that's not the entire reality" adding, “It is a lot of hard work and pressure, especially when you're constantly in the spotlight and being judged. I started in this industry when I was just 22-23 years old, and some girls start even younger. We don't come into this knowing everything; we let others dictate and define us.”
She further revealed, “I've been letting others define me since childhood, creating a pattern where I worked tirelessly to please and seek approval from others. Eventually, my own thoughts, feelings, and desires became insignificant.”
Samantha concluded, “When I achieved success, I feared losing it, immediately searching for the next big accomplishment. So, I believe I've been in fight or flight mode throughout my career.”
Samantha will be seen with Varun Dhawan in the Indian Citadel.
