Samantha Ruth Prabhu often shares bits from her personal life on social media. The actor has a strong following of 26.2 million users on Instagram and 10.4 million users on Twitter.

Samantha was recently seen in Shaakuntalam, in which she played the titular character of Shakuntala. The film, directed by Gunasekhar, opened to mixed reviews. The Indian Express’ Alaka Sahani opined, “One would expect the movie to dwell on Shakuntala’s emotions and conflicts as she, more than once, is abandoned by her loved ones. But her character remains underdeveloped and deprived of the attention she deserves in what’s described as an ‘epic love story’. Hence, the storytelling suffers and the film lacks soul. This is baffling because Ruth Prabhu while dealing with her difficulties and detractors, in real life, has often shown remarkable maturity and grace. The director could have easily drawn inspiration from the actor to give the character of Shakuntala a contemporary touch. That’s something this retelling desperately needed.”

Samantha Ruth Prabhu will next be seen in the India edition of Citadel, also starring Varun Dhawan. The series is helmed by Raj & DK. The actor also has Telugu film Kushi, co-starring Vijay Deverakonda, in the pipeline.
