Samantha: I didn't have a luxurious childhood, so success was my goal

Mumbai– Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has opened up about how success was her goal since childhood as she did not have a luxurious upbringing.

Samantha discussed this topic on her podcast 'Take 20', where she aims to help people by sharing her experiences, helping them identify, understand and seek help when needed.

In one episode, Samantha explored the human body's fight-or-flight response in certain situations alongside wellness coach and nutritionist Alkesh Sharotri.

“I used to believe that exhaustion and the need for rest were signs of weakness. I prided myself on being a hustler, thriving on just six hours of sleep and being exceptionally productive throughout the day,” said the actress, who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called myositis.

“Even though I felt exhausted, I refused to acknowledge it, working tirelessly and continuously for 13 years. »

The actress added: “Growing up, I didn't have a luxurious childhood, so success was my goal from a young age. I have always felt intense pressure to succeed in life. Constantly fed the idea that I wasn't good enough, so it became an intense motivation for me to succeed at all costs.

Samantha, who captivated the nation with her sizzling performance in the song “Oo Antava” from “Pushpa: The Rise”, said people often perceive “acting as glamorous, which is true, but it doesn't 'is not all reality'.

“It's a lot of work and pressure, especially when you're constantly in the spotlight and judged. I started in this industry when I was only 22 or 23, and some girls start even younger. We don't come into this knowing everything; we let others dictate and define us, she said.

Reflecting on her own journey, Samantha said: “I let others define me since I was a child, creating a pattern in which I worked tirelessly to please and seek the approval of others. Eventually, my own thoughts, feelings, and desires became insignificant.

Fears arose once she succeeded.

When I succeeded, I was afraid of losing it and immediately looked for the next big thing. So, I think I've been in fight or flight mode throughout my career,” she explained.

Samantha will soon be seen in the lead role opposite Varun Dhawan in the OTT series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny'. (IANS)
