Rana Daggubati revealed that he spoke with Samantha Ruth Prabhu about her myositis diagnosis last year.

Actor Rana Daggubati in a recent interview spoke about Samantha Ruth Prabhu and her myositis diagnosis. Samantha revealed that she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease last October and has been battling it for a few months now. The Rana Naidu actor, who is Naga Chaitanya’s cousin, was asked if he spoke with Samantha after she disclosed about her diagnosis and the Baahubali star confirmed that he did.

Speaking with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Rana said that he reached out to Samantha and said that they ‘talk a lot.’ Asked if sharing personal struggles makes actors the voice of the people, Rana said it depends on the people. “It is to each his own. That’s how everyone speaks about it and when everyone speaks about it,” he said.

“Look, everyone has difficulties in life, and no one has an easy life. Everyone will have something that is life-changing, that is life-threatening. It’s about how you deal with it, and when you want to speak up about it. So, it is not that everyone has to sit and talk about all the miseries. it’s not necessary. It’s important that sad things happen but the beauty is to get back up and keep going.”

In October last year, Samantha shared a picture from the hospital and opened up about her diagnosis. “A few months back, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called myositis. I was looking forward to sharing this once it goes into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I expected. I am slowly realizing that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something I still struggle with. The doctors are confident that I will make a full recovery very soon. I have good days and bad days…. Physically and emotionally…. And even when it seems like I can’t handle another day of this, somehow the moment passes. I think it can only mean that I am one day closer to recovery,” she said at the time.

Meanwhile, Rana is now busy with the release of his upcoming film Netflix To install Rana Naidu series. The actor will be seen alongside Surveen Chawla, Venkatesh Daggubati, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Ashish Vidyarthi, Gaurav Chopra, and Rajesh Jais in Rana Naidu.
