Samantha Ruth Prabhu talks about true love

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu frequently made headlines for her personal and professional relationships. However, the actress has recently shared a lengthy poem reflecting on the things a woman in her thirties goes through.

Samantha took to her Instagram and shared a video of herself, and also talked about finding ‘true love’. Alongside the video, she penned in the caption, “@avnirambhia and I were having a conversation yesterday and it got me thinking… (it’s a long read).”

She continued, “The world tells you everything after thirty is downhill. That your glow will fade, your beauty will slip away, and you should rush through your twenties trying to be everything… perfect face, perfect body, perfect life… as if time is running out.”

“No one told me that love… real love… would find me as I was, without twisting myself into someone I was never meant to be. Then came my thirties. Something softened. Something opened. I stopped dragging around the weight of old mistakes. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped living two lives… the one I showed the world and the one I lived in silence,” continued Samantha.

The actress further noted, “And suddenly, the person I was in public, was the same person I was when no one was watching. And that was the most alive I had ever felt. I wish this for every girl. I wish her wholeness.”

She concluded her poem by writing, “I wish her the kind of peace that comes when she stops running and finally comes home to herself. Because when you are fully yourself… without apology, without disguise… you don’t just free yourself. You set the whole world free.”
