Samamtha Ruth Prabhu is no longer just a south actor. Not just because the lines between the north and the south industry have blurred but also because she’s won hearts all over with her performances and social media game. The actress is now gearing up for the release of her film ‘Shaakuntalam’ and in an event recently, when Samantha was asked if her life has changed after she’s become a Pan India star, her response left the crowds in loud laughter.
Samantha responded at the event, “Someone tell that to my pets because I still clean their poop.” On a serious note, she further added, “I don’t think my life has changed. I am a star only till 6 pm. After that, my life is extremely normal.” The actress also revealed her childhood dream while talking about the film. The ‘O Antava’ star expressed, “I was doing gritty and real roles like in ‘The Family Man 2’. Right from my childhood, I have always loved the Disney kind of genre. If I am happy, I watch Disney films. If I am sad, I watch them. Playing a Princess in a film like ‘Shaakuntalam’ was special, given that she is a symbol of perfection. It was intimidating initially to play such a role. But I have been taking challenges for the past few years. This is a role I could only dream of as a child. I believe that’s a great endearing factor for all girls, women and families. This is not a simple story. There is love, there is betrayal, there is redemption… It was a complex character that was written many centuries ago”

Interestingly, Allu Arjun’s daughter, Allu Arha is going to make her debut with this film. Talking about her role and Allu Arjun’s involvement in her career, Samantha said at the event, “I don’t think her father is going to involve himself in her career. It is going to take off differently after this movie. Arha’s role has come out so beautifully aside from the roles of lead characters.”
While Samantha is gearing up for the release of ‘Shaakuntalam’, the actress is currently shooting for the Indian version of ‘Citadel’ with Varun Dhawan.
