Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently sparked conversation on social media after liking an Instagram post about men abandoning sick partners.
The post, shared by Successverse, featured a clip from Diary of a CEO, which highlighted that men are over six times more likely to leave ailing spouses, unlike women who typically stay and offer care.
The discussion underscored deep-rooted gender roles and societal conditioning.
Samantha’s subtle endorsement — just a like — didn’t go unnoticed, especially considering her own journey.
In 2022, she revealed that she was diagnosed with myositis, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the muscles.
Her battle with the illness came shortly after her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, finalized in 2021 following months of speculation.
On the professional front, Samantha was last seen in Citadel: Honey Bunny on Amazon Prime alongside Varun Dhawan.
While the show’s second season has been shelved, she is currently filming Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom for Netflix, continuing to balance her personal and professional journeys.
