Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been emerging as the newest youth inspiration from the showbiz world. The pan-Indian actress already commands a massive fan base, courtesy of her jaw-dropping looks, fierce nature and powerful acting mettle. The diva, who has been credited with having scored some of the most huge box-office hits, is currently on a sabbatical, as she has been utilising the time to recuperate from her diagnosed auto-immune condition, Myositis. And now, she has stepped a way forward into the direction of bringing awareness about her health condition to the country at large.
It was in October 2022, when Samantha revealed being diagnosed with the rare auto-immune condition called Myositis. And now, the diva has been selected to be the ambassador for the Myositis India Foundation so as to raise awareness about this rare disorder for the country at large. The news, that was shared on the official Instagram page of the foundation featured a caption, that can be read as:
“Thrilled to introduce the newest face of change! We’re excited to have Samantha Ruth Prabhu on board as the brand ambassador for Myositis India. Together, we’re stepping forward to raise awareness, inspire hope, and make a difference in the lives of those battling myositis. Join us on this journey of compassion and empowerment! Thankful to Dr Rohit Aggarwal from University of Pittsburgh for his immense support."

Back on October 29, 2023, Samantha Ruth Prabhu had taken to her IG handle and announced being diagnosed with the auto-immune condition of Myositis. She dropped a picture of herself from the hospital, where she could be seen getting treated, while dubbing for her film, Yashodha. Along with it, she had penned a heartfelt caption, expressing her situation. She had written:
“Your response to the Yashodha Trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front.”
Being a much-loved actress, Samantha has been quite open when it came to share her troubles and hard journey through Myositis. She gave a glimpse of the same, and proved herself to be a woman of steel when she shared a cryptic post on her social media handle. It featured a picture frame, titled the ‘woman of steel’, that elaborated on how there is a way to conquer every battle bravely in life, and in the end, it will only make one come out stronger. Along with it, Samantha penned a caption where she boosted the morale of many others like her who have been suffering through some tough challenges in life.

Well, it is ironic that despite winning the hearts of her audience, Samantha became a target of nasty criticism and trolling from the audience itself, for whom she has always put her best foot forward and entertained them. Proof of the same was found when one of the netizens pointed out in a social media post, about how Samantha apparently lost all her beauty, when she made her first public appearance post being diagnosed with Myositis. However, the actress did not sit back and gave a witty response to it. She had mentioned:
“I pray you never have to go through months of treatment and medication like I did .. And here’s some love from me to add to your glow.”
