Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals struggles during the dark phase of her life; says, “I had the worst possible thoughts”
As Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently appeared on the YouTube channel of Galatta Plus, she opened up about the deeply troubling phase of her life. It was a time when she felt everything was falling apart, leading her to have some of the worst possible thoughts. While she didn’t explicitly mention her divorce or struggles with Myositis, the Shaakuntalam star revealed how it ultimately impacted her life. “I remember once I actually went to the point where I thought like, ‘Enough, I can’t do this anymore.’ I had the worst possible thoughts. I obviously didn’t dare to go ahead and do it,” Samantha shared.
In the same conversation, the actress referred to that phase as a “never-ending abyss” and spoke about how she eventually got her life back on track. “I chickened out because you need to have lots of guts to act upon these thoughts,” she said, reflecting on her inner turmoil. She added that during this challenging time, she found the courage to push through. “So I was like, ‘I better find a way to build some kind of resilience’,” Samantha shared.
The Yashoda star then shared the important lesson she learned from the darkest phase of her life. She mentioned, “Now, when people say they are going through a hard time, I actually tell them to go through it. There is always a lesson to learn…” She further reflected on her own struggles, adding, “It is not my success that taught me a lesson, but my failures and hardships.”
Coming to her personal life, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was married to Laal Singh Chaddha star Naga Chaitanya. However, to the shock and disbelief of their fans, the couple announced their separation just days before their fourth wedding anniversary in 2021. Both have since moved on in their lives, with Chaitanya tying the knot with Sobhita Dhulipala in December 2024. On the other hand, Prabhu is reportedly dating filmmaker Raj Nidimoru, though neither of them has confirmed the rumours.
Meanwhile, the year following her divorce, the actress was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition Myositis. After undergoing proper treatment, following a strict skincare routine, and adhering to an anti-inflammatory diet, she has made a recovery. Samantha has since returned to work after taking a year-long break to focus on her health.
