Samantha Ruth Prabhu Says She’s Happiest After Two-Year Pause, Puts Health Over Box Office

Myositis recovery prompted a move from box-office validation to wellbeing-focused choices.

Overview

  • Speaking at AIMA’s 52nd National Management Convention in New Delhi, she said she has had no film releases in two years yet feels the happiest she ever has.
  • She described her earlier self as fragile, with weekly release-day numbers driving anxiety and self-worth.
  • She highlighted a gratitude journal, a health-focused podcast, and wellness investments aimed at sparing others the helplessness she once felt.
  • She said she no longer chases Top 10 lists, frequent releases, blockbuster targets, or brand-validation as measures of success.
  • Outlets report selective projects ahead, including Netflix’s Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom and her first production Bangaram under Tralala Moving Pictures, alongside recent credits such as Kushi (2023), Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024), and a producer debut on Subham (2025).
