Samantha Ruth Prabhu Admits to Past Endorsement Mistakes After Fan Criticism: ‘I’ve Made Mistakes…’

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who became a household name in the 2010s with her notable performances in Telugu and Tamil cinema before making her mark in Bollywood, recently highlighted the importance of maintaining a healthy diet on her podcast, ” Take20″. Shortly after the episode aired, an online commenter criticized Samantha for promoting healthy eating now, despite her having endorsed unhealthy food and drink brands in the past.

This criticism struck a chord with Samantha. In response, she candidly admitted, “I made mistakes in the past when I didn’t know any better, but I stopped taking a lot of endorsements. I believe in practicing what I preach.”

Samantha, who has been battling myositis (a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle inflammation), took a six-month break last year to prioritise her health. She stresses that health and fitness have become central to her life and hopes to inspire her followers to adopt healthier lifestyles.

“With everything I’ve learned, I now find it difficult to unsee things I wasn’t aware of before. Whether it’s my food choices or brands, my whole ethos is now focused on healthy living,” says Samantha, who was diagnosed with myositis in 2022. She recognises the need to do the right thing and strive for improvement.

Returning to the big screen in 2023 with the film ‘Kushi’ alongside Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha 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 wellness. I do my research and try to use the products myself before promoting them.”

Samantha’s journey reflects her deep commitment to authenticity and well-being, underscoring the importance of aligning one’s actions with one’s values.
