Shriya Saran on Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s myositis revelation: ‘It’s just a phase…’

Actor Shriya Saran, whose recent release ‘Drishyam 2’ is receiving a positive response at the box office, talked about Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s myositis revelation in a recent interview. The actor said that Samantha is a strong and beautiful girl inside and out. She said the ‘Theri’ actor’s condition is just a passing phase and she will come out stronger.

Samantha, who was recently seen in the thriller film ‘Yashoda’, had shared that she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, called Myositis, earlier this month.

In an Instagram post, she wrote, ‘I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes (sic).’

‘Yashoda’ opened to a great response and earned over Rs 30 crore at the box office.

Shriya Saran also talked about ‘Drishyam 2’ which is successfully running in theatres and mentioned that her family is not able to get tickets for the film because of the high demand.

‘My mother couldn’t get a ticket. My didis (sisters) are going to watch the film sitting in the front row on Saturday. Can you believe that?,’ she said.

She also asked if the marital status of a female actor affects their acting career, to which she replied, ‘That’s been just for the past twenty years. Before that actresses were getting married and having kids and working. It wasn’t a big deal. Kareena Kapoor Khan changed that. And Kajol started working after marriage. So, it doesn’t really matter.’
