Earlier, in an interview with the Filmfare, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was asked to open up about her and Naga Chaitanya's separation that had left their massive fanbase in shock. Reacting to this, the stunning actress had stressed the thought that no matter how bad the situations are, one has to keep going forward. She had said:
"It's ok if you are having a bad day, vocalise it, understand it, as soon as you accept that you're going through something half the work is done. It's when we don't want to accept it and we are fighting it it's a never-ending battle. But when you accept when you vocalise 'this is my issue, so what now? I still have to live my life'."
In the same interview, Samantha Ruth Prabhu had also revealed that when she had started thinking about her separation from her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, she was worried whether she would just crumble or die. However, the actress had added that as for now, she is extremely proud of herself as a person after she had found her true strength. She had explained:
"I know I'm still going to live my life and with all the issues that I now faced in my personal life, I was surprised at how strong I was. I thought I was a much weaker person. I thought that with my separation, I would crumble and die. I didn't think I was capable of being this strong...Today I'm very very proud of how strong I'm because I really didn't know I was."
On the work front, Samantha Ruth Prabhu will be next seen in a mythological epic, Shaakunthalam.
