Samantha Ruth Prabhu Explains Weight Loss Linked to Autoimmune Condition and Diet

Analysed 19 Jun 2026·4 sources analysed·Tirumala, India·Entertainment
Samantha Ruth Prabhu Explains Weight Loss Linked to Autoimmune Condition and DietPreviousNext

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared that her significant weight loss was due to myositis, a rare autoimmune condition that required a strict, bland diet for two years to avoid triggering symptoms. During this period, she ate the same meals daily and only later added sugar- and dairy-free gelato, which inspired the name of her pet cat, Gelato. Samantha emphasized that her weight loss was health-related, not a lifestyle choice, and highlighted the challenges of public scrutiny during her recovery.
