When Samantha Ruth Prabhu rated Hrithik Roshan below Naga Chaitanya on the Look-O-Meter

Naga Chaitanya Samantha

While Hrithik Roshan is often hailed as one of the most handsome actors in India, there was a time when Samantha Ruth Prabhu had a different opinion. In a resurfaced interview that’s now going viral on Reddit, Samantha candidly rated Hrithik’s looks as just “7 out of 10,” placing her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya higher on the scale with a perfect 10.

The throwback video is from an old interview with Sakshi TV, where Samantha was asked to rate the appearances of various popular Indian actors. She was quick to give Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu a full score, saying, “Mahesh Babu? 10 on 10! I don’t even have to think.” But when Hrithik Roshan’s name came up, she surprised everyone with her brutally honest take. “Hrithik, you know, everybody will kill me, but I don’t like Hrithik’s looks too much. Okay, like seven on 10,” she said with a smile.

Samantha’s rating of Hrithik sparked reactions online, especially because she rated Naga Chaitanya, her ex-husband, a flawless 10 out of 10. Fans were quick to pick up on the clip, sharing their thoughts on Reddit and other social media platforms. While some defended her opinion, others were amused by how preferences can vary—even when it comes to someone as widely adored as Hrithik.

The actress also gave her verdict on other Bollywood heartthrobs. Ranbir Kapoor scored an eight from her, while Shahid Kapoor had a more nuanced review. “Shahid Kapoor, before *Kaminey*—four on 10; after Kaminey—nine on 10,” Samantha added, proving she doesn’t hold back when it comes to honest opinions.

On the professional front, Samantha recently wrapped her work on Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian spin-off of the global spy thriller Citadel starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. However, reports now confirm that the Indian series won’t return for a second season. Instead, elements of the Indian storyline will reportedly be incorporated into the international version’s next chapter.

Samantha is currently working on Rakht Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom*, a mythological-action drama that promises to be a major departure from her earlier roles. With strong opinions and a packed slate, Samantha continues to keep fans intrigued—both on and off screen.
