Samantha Opens Up On Taking Break From Work Due To Myositis

Samantha Ruth Prabhu opened up about taking a break from work to recover from myositis.  Samantha’s condition of myositis entails the immune system of her body attacking her muscles.

In a recent interview with Femina India, she said that taking a break was the “hardest decision” of her life and also the best one.

I’ve had my fair share of self-loathing and really low confidence, but I’ve always strived to grow as a person. With that growth came a deeper understanding of my insecurities and self-loathing. I was able to heal by addressing them – not by trying to fix them from the outside, but by fixing the inner trauma that needed more healing than any external quick fix,

She also added that setbacks like these have made her a stronger person.

People might think that success defines you, but it is failure and loss that truly define you and introduce you to the best version of yourself. These lows and these losses have made me a person I am truly proud of,
