Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, widely known for her remarkable acting skills and stunning beauty, recently engaged in an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram with her fans. During this interactive session, one curious fan inquired about the secret behind Samantha’s clear and radiant skin. To this, Samantha offered an honest and unexpected response.
A Battle with Myositis and Health Prioritization
She admitted to using a filter to enhance her appearance on social media platforms. Samantha also disclosed that her skin has been facing considerable challenges lately. These issues stem from the side effects of the steroid shots she had to take as part of her treatment for myositis, an autoimmune condition she has been battling.
Samantha expressed her gratitude to singer and activist Chinmayi Sripada, who has promised to help her regain her skin’s natural lustre. She acknowledged the fact that the steroid shots, though necessary for her health, had caused significant pigmentation issues.
This revelation comes after Samantha’s announcement last year that she was diagnosed with myositis, a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and weakness of the muscles. Since then, the actress has been on a hiatus from her acting career to focus on her health and well-being.

Reports suggest that Samantha has even returned the advance payments she received from filmmakers for her upcoming projects, emphasizing her commitment to prioritizing her health. While there have been numerous speculations about her future projects, Samantha has not officially responded to any of these rumors.
On the Professional Front
Before her break, Samantha completed the shooting of ‘Citadel India,’ a project that garnered much attention from her fans. She shared the screen with Bollywood heartthrob Varun Dhawan in this much-anticipated series. Her last appearance on the big screen was opposite Vijay Deverakonda in ‘Kushi,’ which further solidified her position as one of the leading actresses in the Indian film industry.
