Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared a deeply personal note on Instagram, opening up about her journey toward love, peace, and self-acceptance. The post comes at a time when the actor has been in the spotlight amid ongoing relationship speculation with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru.
Posting a video of herself, Samantha contrasted the restless pace of her twenties with the newfound clarity she has discovered in her thirties.
“The world tells you everything after thirty is downhill. That your glow will fade, your beauty will slip away, and you should rush through your twenties trying to be everything—perfect face, perfect body, perfect life—as if time is running out,” she wrote. “My twenties were loud and restless. I spent them hurrying. Hurrying to look enough, to feel enough, to be enough. Hurrying to hold the facade together so no one would see how lost I felt inside. No one told me I was already whole. No one told me that love—real love—would find me as I was, without twisting myself into someone I was never meant to be (sic).”
She went on to describe how stepping into her thirties changed everything. “Then came my thirties. Something softened. Something opened. I stopped dragging around the weight of old mistakes. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped living two lives: the one I showed the world and the one I lived in silence. And suddenly, the person I was in public was the same person I was when no one was watching. And that was the most alive I had ever felt. I wish this for every girl. I wish her wholeness. I wish her the kind of peace that comes when she stops running and finally comes home to herself. Because when you are fully yourself without apology, without disguise, you don’t just free yourself. You set the whole world free (sic),” Samantha added.
On the professional front, Samantha is set to appear in Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, an action fantasy series co-produced by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK for Netflix, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi. She is also expanding her role as a producer with Maa Inti Bangaram, an action thriller under her banner Tralala Moving Pictures. The company debuted with Subham earlier this year.
