Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation in 2021. While they were married for four years, they were dated for a while before that. While Samantha has been doing some great work, the actress was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition myositis.
As she has been undergoing treatment for it and then took a break for some months from work to pay attention to her health, the actress has now launched a new health podcast. On this podcast, while Samantha did not name Naga Chaitanya or divulge into details, she recalled that the phase was very difficult. She said on her podcast that that year before her diagnosis, it was an extremely difficult year for her. She specifically remembers the day that her friend/partner/manager Himank, and were traveling back from Mumbai. And this was in June of the year before last, and remembers telling him that finally she feels calm, she said. She further said that she has not felt a little relaxed and a little calm in a very, very long time, and she finally feels like she can breathe and go to sleep now, waking up focused on work and give her best.
She further revealed why she wanted to do this podcast, with the reason being her harrowing experience she has been through and a lifelong autoimmune condition, and added she would rather be safe than sorry.
