Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the top actresses demonstrating how one's beauty, talent, and strength can win millions of hearts. Samantha, the beautiful south Indian actress, is considered one of the industry's highest-paid actresses. The actress is now busy with her upcoming film, Shaakuntalam, which will be in theatres from April 14, 2023. Though she is shining like a diamond on her professional front, she has to go through the dark days during and after her separation from her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya.
In a recent interview with Zoom TV, Samantha Prabhu revealed the hard times she had to overcome during her divorce. The actress married Naga Chaitanya in 2017, and in 2021 the couple announced that they would call it quits. Samantha received praise for gracefully managing the backlash from her divorce announcement. The actress, however, modestly denied showing grace when responding to the trolls. The actress shared that she didn't know how to react as it was all her natural reaction. In her words:
"Maybe from a third person’s point of view it’s that, I was just being myself. I don’t know any other way to react. Nobody else is deciding for me, there’s no one in my head, it’s my natural reaction."

In the same interview, the actress shared that she went through all the days when it was impossible for her to even get out of bed, and she needed constant reassurance from her mother that she would be okay. In addition, the actress claimed that although everyone considers her strong and independent, she does not see herself that way. In her words:
"I see all of the lows, all the days I didn’t want to get out of bed, I see the crying, I see the constant asking my mom if I’m going to be okay. That’s not superhuman strength. There’s a little girl in there as well, who is weak and wants to get better."
In the same interview, Samantha Prabhu added how dark those days were. She said that she had the darkest thoughts during her divorce, but she decided not to destroy herself through them. The actress said she took one step forward daily to escape this dark phase. She also thanked her family members and friends, who were beside her then. Samantha explained:
"I was in a very, very dark place during the toughest times of this condition. You name it, I had the most darkest thoughts. And then I realised that I’m not going to do anything about these dark thoughts. If I’m not going to let it destroy me, it means that I’m going to have to start putting one step forward. And every day after that, I took it one step at a time, and I’ve had amazing people, family and close friends, who’ve stood by me every single day."
The beautiful actress also shared that she could not overcome the hardship yet but claimed that the number of dark days has reduced. In another recent interview with India Today, when asked about the plot of her recent film, Shaakuntalam, the actress shared that the movie's main plot revolves around love. In the same interview, she shared her views on love and claimed that a failed relationship could not define her as 'bitter and cynical'. The Rangasthalam actress said:
"I have so much love to give. I'm still extremely loving. One failed relationship does not mean that I become cynical and bitter."
