Samantha Ruth Prabhu
is undoubtedly one of the
successful actors
in the industry, and she completed a decade in her acting career as her debut film ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’ completed 14 years in February 2024. Her performance in the peppy dance number ‘Oo Antava’ from ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ reportedly paid her Rs 5 crore. But it was not a cakewalk for her to earn this remarkable respect from the industry.
In an old chat with some university students, she recalled her
struggles
where she had to eat only
one meal a day
for months due to a lack of money.
In 2022, she addressed a group of students in a university and stated that her parents told her to study hard; only then would she make it big. She completed 10th grade, 12th grade, and college. But her parents couldn’t afford her
higher studies
, and she was left with no dreams, no future.
