Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke about the challenges students face today and shared heartfelt advice during an online Q&A session with fans. Responding to a question on how students can focus on their health despite busy schedules, Samantha admitted that while it’s been years since she was a student, she now sees how much more stressful things have become.
“I hear how difficult it is right now. The stress is… a lot,” she said in a video reply. She reassured students that grades aren’t everything, and that school is more about learning values. “I learnt empathy, kindness, and how to be a better human,” she shared.
Reflecting on her own school experience, Samantha said she doesn’t remember much of what she studied, but the life lessons stayed with her. She encouraged students to focus on friendships, respect, and compassion.
The actress also expressed sadness over rising student suicides in India, sharing a news article about the issue and reacting with a broken heart emoji.
On a lighter note, Samantha confirmed that she’ll begin shooting her next Telugu film this month — finally answering a question fans have been asking for a long time.
