By: Shanaz B Syed | 23 Feb 2026 12:40 PM ISTIn the age of social media, almost every star heroine faces uninterrupted criticism, trolling and abusive behaviour on their respective Instagram handles and Twitter pages. While most of the starlets block these abusers right away, starlet Samantha Ruth Prabhu explains why she actually would block those people.
During a Q/A session that took place on her Instagram the other day, when the actress was asked how she feels about both the negative and positive comments on her page, the actress gave a mind-blowing reply. “Praise doesn’t move me. Trolls don’t either. But if you bring negativity into my home, I will block you. In the same way I keep my space clean, I keep this page clean. Being blocked doesn't mean you affected me. It just means you're not welcome here”, said Samantha.
Samantha’s fans are going super happy with this reply as they feel that by saying blocked people are not someone who affected her, but the ones who are not welcome there, she showcased true woman power. However, sometimes there are incidents where Samantha blocked critics too, and if she doesn’t learn from the criticism that’s being implied, it’s tough to deliver successful films later on.
