Samantha Ruth Prabhu Explains Weight Loss Linked to Autoimmune Disorder and Restricted DietPreviousNext

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared that her significant weight loss over two years was due to managing myositis, an autoimmune disorder. During this period, she followed a highly restricted, bland diet to avoid triggering her condition, often eating the same meals daily. She recently returned to acting with the film Maa Inti Bangaaram and explained that her pet cat Gelato was named after a special treat she was allowed during her dietary restrictions.
