There are heroines and then there are actresses that will revolutionise the way you perceive them. One of such actress is Samantha Ruth Prabhu. She became a national sensation after featuring in Pushpa`s Oo Antava. As the actress celebrates her 35th birthday today, let`s see how she shattered the stereotype of being a "conventional Indian actress."
Throughout her perosnal and professional lives, she defied the expectations that people would have from a typical Indian herione. Without doing much of Hindi work - which constitues majority of the audience - she has become a household name. The Tamil actress has only risen and experiemented with her craft.
In the initial phase of her career, like every other female actor, Prabhu did roles that were second fiddle to the actors. In movies like Alludu Seenu and Rabhasa, she was termed as "fancy prop" by the critics. But today, Samantha is way past that phase.
It all started with Oh!Baby where she had to look 24 in a 70-year-old`s mind. Quite a challenging role, she aced it and how! This encouraged her to fruther push her envelope. By what we reckon, Raji was one of the most rebellious roles that she has played in the Tamil cinema. The movie redefined her potential and landed her a role straight in Amazon Prime Video`s original The Family Man, where she portrayed a negative role. Despite sharing the screen with Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha`s perfromance stood out and was widely accepted.
Even in the 2022 hit Pushpa: The Rise, the song Oo Antava spoke all about objectifying women. She didn`t need all these songs or cameos. But Samantha beign Samantha, she chose a song that was not only made you groove, but also came out as a power-packed punch.
Speaking of the actress`s personal life, she married Naga Chaitanya in 2017, a star who is as popular as her. But due to personal rifts, the couple separated in 2021. She defied the societal norms by not demanding any alimony from the actor.
Samantha is not only moulding the societak definition of an actress but also setting an example for the coming generation. She is bold, she is beautiful, she is intelligent, she is feisty, she is Samantha. We wish the superstar a very happy birthday.
