The actress said that this was something that she hadn’t felt in a long time. She continued, “I haven’t felt a little relaxed and a little calm in a very, very long time. And I finally feel like I can breathe, and I can go to sleep, and I can now wake up and focus on my work and be the best that I can be at work. And I woke up with this condition.” Samantha Ruth Prabhu Resumes Work After Year-Long Battle with Myositis; Launches Health Podcast.

Samantha was accompanied by wellness coach and nutritionist Alkesh Sharotri in her podcast. The actress went on to state the motivation behind this podcast as she said: “The reason I wanted to do this podcast was because after the experience, the harrowing experience that I’ve been through and well, an autoimmune condition is lifelong, so with what I’m dealing with right now as well, I’d rather want people to be safe than sorry.”
