MUMBAI: It was in October last year when Samantha Ruth Prabhu revealed that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. The actress had reportedly flown down to the US for the treatment and recently, she revealed that it’s been a year since she was diagnosed with Myositis.
The actress is currently in Serbia for the shooting of her OTT series Citadel which also stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role. Samantha shared a few pictures of a Church she visited there and wrote, “It’s been one year since the diagnosis. A year of forced new normal. Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for main course, forced shut downs and forced restarts. A year of seeking meaning, reflection and introspection. Of professional failures too… to make things more interesting A year of prayers and poojas… not praying for blessings and gifts… but praying to just find strength and peace. A year that has taught me that not everything goes your way all the time. And more importantly, that it’s ok when it doesn’t. That I must control the controllables, let go off the rest, and keep moving forward one step at a time.”
She further wrote, “That sometimes it’s not about grand successes, but that functioning forward is in itself a win. That I mustn’t sit around waiting for things to be perfect again or wallowing in the past. That I must hang on to love and those I love… and not give hate the power to affect me. There will be so many of you fighting far harder battles. I pray for you too. The gods may delay, but they never deny. They never deny peace, love, joy and strength to those who seek it. The only things worth seeking.”
Well, Samantha’s fans were worried about the actress. However, she came back strong and she has started working again.
The actress was last seen on the big screen in Shaakuntalam which failed to make a mark at the box office. Now, she has some interesting projects lined up like Kushi and Citadel.
Kushi, which also stars Vijay Deverakonda, is slated to release on 1st September 2023. Meanwhile, the premiere date of Citadel is not yet out.
Varun and Samatha’s Citadel is an Indian installment of the series, and there are reports that maybe the actors will be seen playing the role of Nadia’s (Priyanka Chopra) parents in the film. Well, this is fans’ theory so let’s wait and watch.
