Samantha Ruth Prabhu is a true example of rising from the phoenix. The actress was diagnosed with a rare fatal disease called myositis three years ago, soon after her divorce from Naga Chaitanya. However, the Pushpa actress recovered from it and established herself as the strongest woman alive. But was the journey easy, not at all. Samantha confessed in her latest article with Elle India that she never wanted the last three years of her life.
Samantha said in her interview, “We all wish we could change certain things about our lives, and I sometimes wonder if I should have gone through the things I went through. But looking back, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I was discussing this with my friend a while back, and I always thought I wouldn’t want the last three years to go like this, but now I think you have to face whatever life throws at you. And as long as you come out of it, you’ve won. I feel stronger and more grounded than ever. That’s because I’ve gone through fire to get here… call it a spiritual awakening.”
Samantha explains how spirituality played an important role in her personal life.
Samantha who often posts about her personal progress on her social media, shared how she overcame challenges in her life through spirituality. “Spirituality has been extremely integral to my personal growth, and this is reflected in my work as well. It impacts all aspects of my life – communication, perception and dealing with conflict. Spirituality has been the strength I needed to overcome many obstacles. In today’s world, you need spirituality more than ever because there is so much pain and illness. I believe spirituality can be your best friend and an endless source of strength.”
Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their divorce in 2021 after four years of marriage and reportedly got legally separated in 2022.
