For the past few months, everyone wondered why Samantha Ruth Prabhu became silent, even on social media. The South siren today revealed a shocking news to her fans that she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis, which leads to the weakening of muscles.
Posting a picture of herself in a recording studio, while being on an IV, the actress wrote, “Your response to the Yashodha Trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. 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.”
Samantha further added, “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. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you.. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.”
On the professional front, Samantha’s Yashodha will hit the screens on November 11. She also has Shaakuntalam and Arrangements Of Love in her kitty.
