Samantha Ruth Prabhu first time opened up about shooting for the song 'Oo Antava', and how she wasn't confident in shooting the risque dance number.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the most courageous actresses of all time. In the span of a year, she has gone through a lot. From dealing with nasty allegations due to her divorce from Naga Chaitanya to talking about her health condition, Samantha has seen a lot and busted the ugly rumours in style. Amidst it, Samantha gained a lot of fame across India, courtesy of her dance number, Oo Antava, which became a superhit chartbuster. Recently, Samantha revealed that she wasn't comfortable shooting for the song and that her legs were shivering during the entire shoot.
Recently, in an interaction during the India Today Conclave, Samantha revealed that she always thought she was not pretty enough for an item song. The gorgeous actress revealed that she felt scared, as sexy is not her thing. She added that she had put herself in the most uncomfortable position. She was quoted as saying:
"I have always operated from a space of ‘I’m not good enough, I don’t feel pretty, I don’t look like the other girls.’ So for me, it was a huge challenge. It was actually the first shot of “Oo Antava”… I was shaking from fear because sexy is not my thing. It’s not my thing. But how I’ve grown both as an actor and as a person is I’ve always made sure that I put myself in the most uncomfortable, unforgiving, very difficult circumstances."

Further, Samantha admitted that she was not confident about whether she wanted to work on the song, Oo Antava. However, she said yes to the song because she wanted to experiment with something new. She added that she wanted people to pass judging women for wanting to look good.
During the same media interaction, Samantha revealed that she was forced to go public about her disorder. She stated that she did it due to her film, which was about to be released. However, she was very sick and wasn't ready for the promotion. She added that there were a lot of speculations going on, and producers needed her to promote the film, otherwise it would have died. Samantha was quoted as saying:
"I was forced to go public about my disorder. At that time, I had my female-centric film due for release. I was very sick back then. It was hard and I wasn't ready. There were all sorts of speculation going around and misinformation being spread. The producers needed me to promote it, otherwise, it (the film) would just die."
Samantha further added that she decided to do one interview, and she didn't look the same because she was on high doses of medications. She also revealed that after the revelation, she was called a sympathy queen, and people judged her. Samantha added that if she had given a choice, she would have never discussed it.
