Samantha Ruth Prabhu announced about her medical condition back in the year of 2022 after she was diagnosed with the disease called Myositis. Post which she took a break from work. 

Recently, the actress announced about her upcoming podcast which has a detailed information about what actually happened. She also added that she is now ready to get back to work. 

Apparently, she was diagnosed with the condition just a year post her divorce with Naga Chaitanya.

As the first episode surfaced, the actress went on to talk about it. She said, "I remember specifically the year before I had this problem, it was an extremely
difficult year for me. I specifically remember the day that I think my friend/partner manager
Himank, and I were traveling back from Mumbai. And this was in June of the year before last, and I
remember telling him that finally I feel calm. I haven't felt a little relaxed and a little calm in a
very, very long time. And I finally feel like I can breathe and I can go to sleep, and I can now wake
up and focus on my work and be the best that I can be at work. And I woke up with this condition.”

She further added, "The reason I wanted to do this
podcast was because after the experience, the
harrowing experience that I've been through and well, an autoimmune condition is lifelong, so with what I'm dealing with right now as well, I'd rather want people be safe than sorry."

The actress was last seen in Kushi alongside Vijay Deverakonda.
