"she is doing whatever offers she is getting."
A Telugu producer has made derogatory comments about Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s career and health issues.
The popular actress has faced difficulties over the past few years.
She went through a high-profile divorce with Naga Chaitanya.
It was then revealed that she has been battling Myositis.
A Telugu film producer named Chittibabu has now taken jibes at Samantha in an interview.
He said: “Samantha Ruth Prabhu did ‘Oo Antava’ item song in Pushpa: The Rise after her divorce.
“She did it for her livelihood. After losing the status of a star heroine, she is doing whatever offers she is getting.
“Her career as the heroine is finished and she cannot get back to stardom again.
“She should continue her journey doing the offers she gets.”
He claimed that Samantha was playing the sympathy card to get film roles and alleged that she cried throughout the promotions for Yashoda in a bid to make it a success.
Chittibabu continued: “During Yashoda promotions, she shed tears in promotions and tried to score a hit.
“Now ahead of Shaakuntalam, she did the same trying to get sympathy saying she planned to do the role before she dies and went on record that she was unable to speak as she couldn’t get her voice out of her throat.”
He even went as far as to say that Samantha did an “item song” just for money, implying that she was desperate for work.
It is not uncommon for celebrities to use their struggles as a means of promoting their work and shedding light on important health struggles unknown to the public to help bring awareness.
However, Chittibabu’s comments suggest that he believes Samantha is using her issues solely for professional gain.
Samantha did not directly respond to Chittibabu’s comments, but she did post a video on her Instagram handle that contained a quote from the Bhagavad Gita, a spiritual Hindu scripture.
The quote she used read: “Karmanye vadhika raste, Ma phaleshu kadachana, Ma karma phala he tur bhuh. Ma te sangotsva karmani.”
This verse emphasises the importance of focusing on one’s actions and not being attached to the results.
It is a subtle but powerful response to Chittibabu’s comments, as it suggests that Samantha is focused on doing her best and not worrying about what others think of her.
