When Samantha Ruth Prabhu talked about her 'strained' relationship with her father, Joseph Prabhu

A while ago, Samantha talked about her bumpy relationship with her father, Joseph Prabhu, and how it has affected her. In an interview with Galatta India, Samantha shared that she struggled to get validation from him all her life. She stated that her father would often tell her that she wasn't smart, which made her believe that she actually wasn't smart for a long time. She said:

"All my life growing up, I had to fight for validation. My father was kind of like… I think most Indian parents are like that. They think they’re protecting you. He actually told me, ‘You’re not that smart. This is just the standard of Indian education. That’s why even you can get a first rank.’ When you say that to a child, I really believed for the longest time that I’m not smart and not good enough."

When Samantha's father, Joseph, accepted that it took a long time for him to accept her daughter's divorce

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya parted ways in October 2021. And more than, Samantha, it was her late father, Joseph Prabhu, who found it hard to come terms with his daughter's divorce. In 2022, he shared throwback wedding pictures of his daughter and added that it took him a long time to accept it. But he was hopeful about his daughter's new chapter. 

We wish Samantha Ruth Prabhu a lot of strength in these testing times.
