Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known for her fitness discipline, has addressed recent social media commentary regarding her appearance. Responding to remarks suggesting she looks unwell or underweight, the actress issued a strong rebuttal via Instagram, challenging those making such comments to match her physical strength.
In an Instagram story posted Thursday, Samantha shared a video of herself performing pull-ups at the gym. Alongside the video, she wrote, “Let’s make a deal. Until you can do at least three pull-ups as shown here, please refrain from saying ‘You’ve lost weight’, ‘Are you unwell?’, or making any other such comments. If you can’t, stop speaking like that.” The post was seen as a direct response to recent viral photos from an awards event, where her slim appearance drew attention.
Samantha, who has been open about her health challenges, revealed in 2022 that she was diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune condition. She has since maintained a strict fitness and wellness regimen. Currently, she is involved in multiple projects, including the upcoming series Rakt Bramhand directed by Raj and DK, and has also stepped into production with her recent short film Shubham.
