Will Samantha Ruth Prabhu resume acting in 2024? Here's what we know

Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who took a break from acting after being diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myosotis, is expected to resume work in 2024.

A source told Hindustan Times that the actor is feeling a bit rejuvenated and is planning to channel all that energy into her work.

‘She is planning to start acting and be back on set early next year. In fact, she is looking forward to it. It is expected that she will be back at work when Citadel promotions start. She might also start a new project, which she is backing’, said the source.

Samantha underwent treatment for the autoimmune condition, Myositis, in the US and travelled extensively around the world.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Samantha opened up about taking a break from work. She said that she does not seek 'external validation' anymore.

She said, ‘When I went down last year, I didn’t get to move out of my house for a good amount of time. I promised myself that once I felt better I would take a break, I would travel, I would live a little. Because 13 years of not taking a break, running a race that no one knows who’s winning and then also, winning what exactly. Because once you get one blockbuster, you just want a bigger blockbuster and another best actor award. It’s never ending. So I think taking this break also proves a point to myself that I’m not looking for external validation.’
