Samantha on Overcoming Myositis for Citadel Role
As she awaits the premiere of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ next month, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition Myositis in 2022, after her divorce from ex-husband Naga Chaitanya, disclosed that she wasn’t sure about doing such a physically-challenging role and even offered the director duo Raj & D.K., to move on with some other actor.
In an interview with an Indian media outlet, Samantha said, “I begged them to move on because I didn’t think I could do it. I was sure I couldn’t.”
“I even sent other recommendations: ‘Look at this heroine; she is so amazing. She will kill it. I beg you, I can’t do this,’” disclosed the ‘Oo Antava’ girl. “I sent like four options to them. I was not well.”

“Now, watching this show, I am so thankful that they didn’t make it without me and that I found the strength to do it. Even before the verdict is out for this show, I am going to give it to myself for pulling through,” she concluded.
