Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently had an emotional moment during a promotional event in Visakhapatnam, leading to speculation and concern among her fans after a video showing her teary-eyed went viral on social media.
Viral Video Sparks Concern
Samantha was attending a pre-release event for Subham, her debut film as a producer. In a circulating video from the event, she appears to get emotional, visibly struggling to hold back tears despite smiling. The clip prompted an outpouring of support from fans, with many interpreting her reaction as a sign of personal pain.
Comments online reflected this sentiment—some praised her resilience, others expressed empathy for her emotional struggles, and one fan pointed out that Samantha had previously mentioned her sensitivity to bright lights, which often causes her eyes to water.
Samantha Responds to Speculations
To address the growing buzz, Samantha took to Instagram Stories to clarify that her teary eyes were not due to emotional distress. She explained, “My eyes are very sensitive to bright lights, and they tend to water often, which is why I keep wiping them. There’s been a lot of speculation, but I’m doing absolutely fine. I’m happy and excited for the release of our film on the 9th, so let’s not misinterpret things.”
What’s Next for Samantha
Samantha was last seen in Kushi(2023) alongside Vijay Deverakonda and in the 2024 Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny with Varun Dhawan. Though the show received a mixed response, it won’t be returning for a second season.
She’s now gearing up for her upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaram, which she is producing through her banner, Tralala Moving Pictures. In addition, she will appear in Raj & DK’s Netflix series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. Fans can also look forward to a fun cameo from her in Subham, a horror comedy centered around the concept of the “alpha male.”
