Samantha Prabhu, an actress who is now taking a sabbatical from performing to receive treatment for myositis, used social media to dispel claims that she had borrowed Rs 25 crore from a Telugu star for the purpose.
Samantha wrote, “25 crores to treat Myositis!? Someone got you a pretty bad deal. I am glad I am only spending the smallest fraction of that. And, I don’t think I was paid in marbles for all the work I’ve done in my career. So, I can easily take care of myself. Thank you. Myosotis is a condition thousands suffer from. Let’s please be responsible with the information we put out regarding the treatment.”
She travelled to Bali and enjoyed in exotic experiences after taking some well-deserved time off to reenergize herself there. She charmed her admirers with gorgeous images and thrilling updates from her tropical excursion.
Samantha broke her social media silence on her health status last year and disclosed that she has been diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune disease.
“A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped,” she had posted.
She also added, “I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you.. (black heart emoji). THIS TOO SHALL PASS.”
Her upcoming project is the Vijay Deverakonda film “Kushi.” On September 1, the romantic Telugu movie will be released. Alongside Varun Dhawan, the actress will appear in the Indian version of “Citadel”.
