Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals why she was staying away from Bollywood

Samantha Ruth Prabhu made her Hindi debut this year with Amazon Prime Video’s The Family Man season 2. Her performance as Raji earned her a lot of appreciation for it. Samantha is a big name down South and while she has made her Hindi OTT debut, fans are yet to watch her in a Bollywood film.

Recently, in an interview, the actress revealed that why she decided to stay away from the Hindi film industry for such a long time.

Speaking to Bombay Times, Samantha revealed whether she is all set to feature in Bollywood films. The actor said, “I had never thought I would do a web series, but that changed with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s show. I am learning to say, never say never. The appreciation I received was more than what I had expected. I feel I have the confidence to accept newer challenges now.”

When she was asked why she decided to keep a distance from Bollywood, the actor said, “I was finding my footing in the South and gained confidence in my work only in the last two years. I was still making bad choices and not doing the kind of work that satisfied me. Things changed a great deal in the last two years, and now, I am confident about accepting challenges. I don’t try everything and then see what works. I usually take time to perfect something before moving on to another challenge. That’s why it has taken me this long to get this far.”

Samantha was last seen in the special dance number in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1.
