Samantha Says She Didn’t Let Naga Chaitanya’s Divorce ‘Destroy’ Her
In a new video, Samantha Ruth Prabhu discusses overcoming obstacles and emerging stronger from adversity.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu has gone through a lot in recent years. While her divorce from Naga Chaitanya has been in the news since 2021, the Shaakuntalam actress has been suffering from Myositis since last year. Samantha spoke briefly about her recent troubles at a recent Hyderabad event, adding that despite the terrible circumstances, she did not allow her condition ‘destroy’ her.
In a video shared by a fan on Twitter, Samantha appeared to be talking about tackling her trying situations when she confessed that the situations did change her and made her stronger. “I think that so many of us will do the same in (similar) situations. During my earlier days (in the industry), my situation was good, I was happy and hence I was naive and innocent and all. Later, when I got into tougher situations, I learned to adapt to them and change accordingly,” she said.
“I think these hard times or struggles will force you to show your strength. I don’t think I’m anything special, it’s just I had unfortunate events or circumstances in my life that made me this strong. I did not let those circumstances destroy me,” she added.
You are very very special for many reasons Sam @Samanthaprabhu2🤍 #ShaakuntalamOnApril14 #ShaakuntalamIn3D #SamanthaRuthPrabhu pic.twitter.com/twGzN3c3sC
