Samantha Clarifies Her Weight Loss Transformation - Not Due to Dieting

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has addressed recent discussions surrounding her weight loss on social media. She clarified that she did not lose weight through intentional dieting but due to lifestyle and dietary changes necessitated by her battle with myositis. Samantha expressed disappointment over people making assumptions without understanding the challenges individuals may be facing in their personal lives.

The actress also revealed the emotional reason behind naming her pet ‘Gelato.’ She said that during her treatment, she followed strict dietary restrictions for nearly two years. Gelato ice cream was among the first foods doctors allowed her to have after a long period, making it a special memory. Samantha said this emotional connection inspired her to give the same name to her beloved pet. Meanwhile, her latest film ‘Maa Inti Bangaram’ is receiving a positive response from audiences.
