Mumbai, Oct 17 (NationPress) Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently discussed the hurdles she has encountered in her personal life, recognizing that her experiences have frequently unfolded under the watchful eyes of the public.

In light of her separation and health challenges, the ‘Kushi’ actress confessed that “everything has been very, very public,” noting that she is often subjected to judgment and trolling for her displays of vulnerability. Speaking during the recent NDTV World Summit 2025, Samantha remarked, “Anyone who has followed my journey is aware of the personal struggles... My separation, illness, everything has been very, very public. You are constantly judged for being vulnerable, you're constantly trolled for being vulnerable.”

During the session, Samantha Ruth Prabhu elaborated on various facets of her life, from personal challenges to professional decisions. She also touched upon her viral performance in the “Pushpa: The Rise” hit Oo Antava, which became a phenomenon. Reflecting on this, Samantha shared, “I did Oo Antava to see if I could. It was a challenge that I gave myself. I never considered myself sexy. No one was ever going to give me a 'bold role'. It was a one-time thing,” she stated regarding her collaboration with Allu Arjun on the popular Telugu track.

Additionally, Prabhu discussed her aspirations and the significance of purposeful growth. The actress, known for her candid discussions about her career in the film industry, expressed her views on ambition needing to be fueled by intent and proper guidance. “I'm very ambitious. Ambition should not just run wild, it should come with some purpose. It is important for youth today to select their mentors very carefully... I selected my mentors very carefully who changed the trajectory of my life. That is the reason more people in higher positions must also be very responsible,” she emphasized.

On the professional front, Samantha was most recently featured in the web series “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” which premiered in 2024.
