‘Ready for that change’: Samantha Ruth Prabhu on motherhood and stepping back from her career
"Up until then, I had built my identity on goals, results, performance, discipline — everything was measured by doing," recalled the Maa Inti Bangaram actor.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is in her mom-to-be era. Between flaunting her baby bump, easing her strength-training routine, and connecting with her roots, the Maa Inti Bangaram actor is slowly making space in her life to welcome a new life. For any successful actor, stepping back from the peak of their career can bring a host of conflicting feelings. And it was no different for Samantha.
During a recent chat with Hollywood Reporter India, she shared that her myositis diagnosis forced her to reframe her relationship with identity: “Up until then, I had built my identity on goals, results, performance, discipline — everything was measured by doing. And for the first time, when I was sick, I had to make peace with the fact that I wasn’t contributing in any way.”
