Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who rose to fame in the 2010s with her Telugu and Tamil films, and later ventured into Bollywood, recently spoke about the importance of eating healthy foods on her podcast, Take20. Hours after the episode was posted online, one netizen pointed out that while Samantha was now talking about healthy eating habits, she had endorsed unhealthy food and drink brands in the past.
The comment apparently hit Samantha hard. In response, she wrote: “I made mistakes in the past when I didn’t know any better, but I stopped accepting a lot of endorsements. “I believe in practicing what I preach.”

Samantha further says that it’s time for her to “do the right thing” and with that, “do it better.” The actor, who returned to the big screen in 2023 with the film kushi Along with Vijay Deverakonda, he explains: “While my choices may seem less than ideal to most, given that brands have a commercial impact on us, I am working to ensure that I now align myself only with those brands that are equally committed to life and welfare. I do my research and try to use the products myself before recommending them.”
