Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a prominent figure in the South Indian film industry, needs no introduction. Her marriage to Naga Chaitanya, which ended after four years, has been a subject of much public interest. Following her separation and a diagnosis of myositis, Samantha took a year-long hiatus from acting to focus on her health. Now, she is set to make her return with the web series "Citadel" and the film "Maa Inti Bangaram," both slated for release soon.
Samantha's on-screen chemistry with Naga Chaitanya was evident in their debut film together, "Ye Maya Kalave." Their performance in the film, which saw Chaitanya play Karthik and Samantha as Jessie, was widely acclaimed. Samantha herself rated Chaitanya's performance a perfect 10 out of 10, praising his romantic portrayal. She, however, rated her own performance in the film a modest 3.5 out of 10, acknowledging that she wasn't naturally inclined towards romantic roles.
In an interview, Samantha further shared her opinions on the physical appearances of various actors. She gave Mahesh Babu a perfect 10 out of 10, NTR a 9.5, Hrithik Roshan a 7, Naga Chaitanya a 10, and Ranbir Kapoor an 8.
She also revealed a behind-the-scenes anecdote about her experience on the set of "E Maya Kalave." Samantha confessed that she was nervous during the shoot, particularly in a scene where she had to raise her hand. She admitted that her hand was shaking, but director Gautham Menon calmed her down and helped her to deliver a confident performance.
Samantha's journey has been marked by both personal and professional challenges, but her resilience and determination have brought her back to the forefront of the film industry. Her upcoming projects are eagerly awaited by fans, who are excited to see her back on the screen.
