Well-known actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has taken to social media to dispel the swirling rumours of her seeking financial aid from a superstar to fund her myositis treatment.
Myositis and Self-Sufficiency
Samantha clarified that she has been dealing with myositis, a disorder that affects the body’s muscle tissues, since 2022. Despite the diagnosis, Samantha emphasizes that she has been handling her treatment independently and is financially capable of handling her medical needs. The suggestion of borrowing INR 25 crore from a renowned superstar appeared ludicrous to her, as she refuted the claim via Instagram, writing, “25 crores to treat myositis!? Someone got you a pretty bad deal. I am glad I am only spending the smallest fraction of that. And I don’t think I was paid in marbles for all the work I’ve done in my career. So I can easily take care of myself. Thank you.”
Addressing Misinformation
The actress stressed the importance of being careful when disseminating information about health conditions such as hers. She urged the public to act responsibly, understanding their words’ impact on the many who suffer from conditions like myositis.
