I Wanted To Eat But Couldn't: Samantha

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is once again receiving a lot of love from fans. Her latest film, Maa Inti Bangaaram, is performing well at the box office. At the same time, Samantha has opened up about one of the most difficult phases of her life and her battle with myositis.

During a recent interview, Samantha spoke honestly about the health problems she faced after being diagnosed with myositis. She said many people used to ask her why she was losing so much weight. Some even thought she was following a strict diet to become slim. However, the reality was very different.

Samantha revealed that she went through nearly two years of pain and struggle. She said she was not losing weight by choice. In fact, she wanted to eat many of her favorite foods but could not because of her health condition. The actress shared that those years felt like “hell” for her. She also mentioned that many people did not know what was happening in her personal life and the challenges she was dealing with behind closed doors.

Now, Samantha says she is in a much better place. She enjoys eating the food she likes, but she still follows a balanced lifestyle. She added that she does not overeat and prefers to take care of her health while enjoying life.

Meanwhile, Samantha’s comeback film Maa Inti Bangaaram is doing well in theatres. The family action drama collected ₹10.10 crore net in India on its third day. The film’s total India net collection reached ₹23.1 crore after three days. Overseas, the movie earned ₹15.1 crore gross, taking its worldwide gross collection to nearly ₹41.79 crore.

Directed by BV Nandini Reddy, the film marks Samantha’s return to the big screen after a three-year gap. The story follows a woman who enters a traditional family after marriage and later fights to protect them from a dangerous threat connected to her past.

With Maa Inti Bangaaram moving closer to the ₹50 crore mark worldwide and Samantha’s inspiring journey winning hearts, the actress is proving once again why she remains one of the most admired stars in Indian cinema. Fans are happy to see her healthy, confident, and successful both on and off the screen.
