Samantha Ruth Prabhu is in a new phase of her life—one where balance, health, and peace of mind have taken precedence over the race to stay on top of the film industry. In a candid conversation with Grazia, the actress reflected on how she has reshaped her career choices to align with her personal well-being.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu shares thoughts on not shooting five films at a time after health scare: “I need to listen to my body”
“I no longer shoot five films at a time. One thing I’ve realised is that I need to listen to my body, so I’ve reduced the amount of work that I do. But now everything that I do and put my energy and mind into matters so much more. Nothing is for the heck of it. The quantity may have reduced but the quality of projects has definitely increased,” Samantha said.
Her words echo the shift she spoke about earlier this month at the All-India Management Association’s 52nd National Management Convention in Delhi, where she revealed that she no longer feels the pressure to constantly prove herself. Looking back at her earlier years, she admitted that the drive to stay relevant in a highly competitive industry often left her anxious and unsettled.
“The previous version of me probably had five films releasing in a year because that was the symbol of a successful actor. You needed to have multiple films, a big blockbuster, and be listed among the Top 10 actors. You had to be endorsing major multinational brands,” she shared, adding that she used to tie her self-worth to box office numbers. “Every Friday would give me anxiety. I worried someone else would take my place. If I succeeded, I’d forget it the next day, but if I failed, it would stay with me for a long time.”
Today, however, Samantha has chosen to redefine what success means for her. She hasn’t had a film release in the past two years, yet she described this as the happiest phase of her life. “I don’t have a 1000-crore film, but I am truly content now,” she said.
