Samantha Ruth Prabhu on Life After Divorce

In the same interview, the Citadel actress shared the changes her life has undergone after her divorce in 2021. She said, "When a woman goes through a divorce, there's a lot of shaming and stigma attached. I get a lot of comments saying 'second hand', 'used', and 'wasted life'. You are pushed to a corner where you are supposed to feel like a failure, that you were once married, and now you are not." Samantha calls this experience really hard for anyone who has to go through it.

Reacting to the false things being said about her after her divorce, Samantha said, "You gain a bunch of people who are so fickle. They may love you for a minute, and then maybe three days later, you do something stupid, and they go back to hating you again."  However, the actress said that her close friends and family know the truth, so the negativity doesn't bother her. She also revealed that she has stopped seeking validation, and public approval no longer affects her. Will Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala Have a Big Fat Indian Wedding?
