Myositis Diagnosis: A Career Interruption
Samantha Ruth Prabhu was diagnosed with myositis, a rare autoimmune condition, in 2022. She took a break from acting for her recovery.
Ego and the Acting Profession
She went on to add how taking a break from work to recover from myositis saved her. She shared, “When I had to take that break recently, I was hustling the most. I wanted to do many films and keep doing it. I never thought there would be retirement. You become so egoistic as an actor that you see no end, you refuse to see there is an end. After this recent break, I could envision that end for me, and that really changed me in many ways. I made certain decisions during the break, like if I come back to this profession after the break, I will have to change a lot of things, a lot of old patterns.”
