Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently talked about being authentic, vulnerable and ambitious at the same time despite being part of the entertainment industry. While speaking about the same, she shared that all her personal struggles, such as separation and illness were public, which came with a lot of trolling and judgement. She shared that how she was criticised for being open and vulnerable. The actress also admitted that she is very ambitious but it should come with purpose.

In a conversation with NDTV, Samantha Ruth Prabhu said, “I don't think authenticity is the final destination - it is a work in progress. I don't have everything sorted, I don't have my life sorted, but I'm able to speak about it. I am not perfect; I might make mistakes, I might stumble, but I'm trying to be better.”

She continued, “I'm talking about authenticity with my own journey. I can't begin to explain that I know someone else's. I can speak it and keep it as real as possible. My life - anyone who has followed my journey - is aware of the personal struggles. The separation, the illness - they have all been very public. It has come with a lot of trolling and judgment; a lot of judgment for being open and vulnerable.”

The actress added, “Everyone has access to how the top 1% of the world live - their homes, their yachts. Everyone has access to that information, and that can be very demotivating. You have no way of having that kind of life. It is most important now that we also be responsible.”

Samantha Ruth Prabhu feels that ambition should have its own purpose. The star added, “I am ambitious, but that ambition should be linked to purpose. Ambition should not just run wild; it should come attached with purpose. It is important for youth today to select their mentors very carefully - it can dictate their entire life. I listened to hours of podcasts and found mentors who changed the trajectory of my life. That is the reason more people in higher positions must also be very responsible.”

“It is a struggle. I had nothing; I came from a humble background. My family struggled to put food on the table. There was name, fame, wealth, applause - I didn't know what to do with it. Authenticity is the sum of your upbringing. If you're not in balance with that upbringing, it can put you in a lot of turmoil,” she added.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently working in Raj & DK’s anticipated project-Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. The series is also set to feature Wamiqa Gabbi, Ali Fazal and Aditya Roy Kapoor in pivotal roles. The show is slated to arrive on Netflix.
