During a Q&A session on Insta, a netizen asked Samantha about her upcoming Telugu film. Responding to this, she wrote, “Finally, I have an answer to this question.

Recently, Samantha pointed out how her journey has often been subjected to public scrutiny - whether it is her separation or her health struggles.
Speaking during the recently held NDTV World Summit 2025, Samantha shared, “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.”
Talking about her performance in the "Oo Antava" song from Allu Arjun's “Pushpa: The Rise”, Samantha added, “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, " says actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu on performing the popular Telugu song Oo Antava with Allu Arjun in Pushpa: The Rise.”
