Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya dated for a few years before they tied the knot in 2017. In October 2021, they announced their separation. Recently, Samantha dropped the first episode from her health podcast series, Take 20, where she opened up about her separation and autoimmune condition, Myositis. Even though she did not name her former husband, she said that the year before Myositis was ‘extremely difficult’.

The actress said, “I remember specifically the year before I had this problem, it was an extremely difficult year for me. I specifically remember the day that I think my friend/partner/manager Himank, and I were travelling back from Mumbai. And this was in June of the year before last, and I remember telling him that finally I feel calm.”
Samantha added, “I haven’t felt a little relaxed and a little clam in a very, very long time. And I finally feel like I can breathe and I can go to sleep, and I can now wake up and focus on my work and be the best that I can be at work. And I woke up with this condition.”
She went on to add, “The reason I wanted to do this podcast was because after the experience, the harrowing experience that I’ve been through and well, an autoimmune condition is lifelong, so with what I’m dealing with right now as well, I’d rather want people be safe than sorry.”
Last year, Samantha announced her break from acting to focus on her health. A few days ago, Samantha revealed she has returned to work. The actress will be seen in Raj and DK’s Citadel India along with Varun Dhawan. Citadel India is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video.
