Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently sparked concern after a video surfaced from a pre-release event in Visakhapatnam for her debut production film Subham.
The clip showed her visibly emotional—laughing with tears in her eyes and later breaking down while addressing the crowd. The footage quickly went viral, with fans expressing concern and sharing heartfelt messages.
Many began speculating if something personal was troubling her, with some pointing to past challenges in her life, while others recalled that she had previously spoken about having sensitive eyes.
Samantha Clears the Air: It’s Not What It Looks Like
Responding to the flood of emotional speculation, Samantha took to Instagram Stories to address the viral video and set the record straight.
"I have said this before, but I’m forced to say it again—my eyes are very sensitive to bright lights, and they tend to water. That’s why I keep wiping them," she clarified.
She added that the assumptions being made about her emotional well-being are misplaced:
"It has absolutely nothing to do with my emotional state. I am absolutely fine, happy, and excited at the moment. So please give it a rest. Let’s not do this all over again."
She also thanked fans and the Visakhapatnam audience for their overwhelming love and support during the event.
