Samantha Ruth Prabhu breaks her silence on illness, trashes exaggerated headlines

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is eagerly awaiting the release of her forthcoming thriller ‘Yashoda’, recently disclosed that she’s going through a rough patch health-wise. The actor is recovering from an autoimmune condition called Myositis. In a promotional interview, Samantha opened up about her illness and recalled the journey she went through battling her condition

An emotional Samantha said, ‘As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I’ve felt even taking one more step would be difficult. But when I look back, I wonder I’ve gone through so much and have come this far. I’m here to fight.’
She also clarified that her condition is not life-threatening and the exaggerated headlines were very unnecessary.

‘I want to clear one thing. I saw a lot of articles describing my condition as life-threatening. The stage I’m in, it’s not life-threatening. At the moment, I’m not dead yet. I don’t think those headlines were very necessary,’ she said.

Samantha plays a courageous surrogate in ‘Yashoda’, who tries to unfold the secrets of a serious medical crime. Directed by Hareesh Narayan and Hari Shankar, 'Yashoda' is all set to release in theatres on November 11.
