Samantha Ruth Prabhu marks anniversary of Myositis diagnosis with emotional note, videos: ‘A year of forced new normal’

Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who was recently seen in the film Shaakuntalam, took to her Instagram handle and dropped multiple pictures from a church. Along with the photos, she shared a powerful message, reflecting on her journey in the past year since being diagnosed with Myositis. The actor penned a long heartfelt message and said that it has been a year of ‘seeking meaning, reflection and introspection.’

Samantha shared a picture of her lighting a candle at a church and she shared glimpses of the church. She wrote in the caption, “It’s been one year since the diagnosis. A year of forced new normal. Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for main course, forced shut downs and forced restarts. A year of seeking meaning, reflection and introspection. Of professional failures too… to make things more interesting☺️ A year of prayers and poojas… not praying for blessings and gifts… but praying to just find strength and peace.”

Last year, Samantha shared a picture of herself with a drip attached to her hand and had revealed that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis.  The actor had also said that the doctors are confident that she will make a complete recovery.

She continued, “That sometimes it’s not about grand successes, but that functioning forward is in itself a win. That I mustn’t sit around waiting for things to be perfect again or wallowing in the past. That I must hang on to love and those I love… and not give hate the power to affect me. There will be so many of you fighting far harder battles. I pray for you too. The gods may delay, but they never deny. They never deny peace, love, joy and strength to those who seek it. The only things worth seeking.”

Samantha is currently shooting for Raj and DK’s Citadel. The actor also has Kushi with Vijay Devarakonda.
