Samantha Ruth Prabhu, one of the leading actresses working in Telugu cinema, explored the Hindi space with Amazon Prime Video’s The Family Man 2 (2021) and won rave reviews for her outstanding performance as Raji. She even walked away with several awards for her power-packed performance in the high-profile streaming show, created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.
Talking to a publication, the actress said that she had never thought of doing a series, but now has the confidence to accept newer challenges as an actress. “I had never thought I would do a web series, but that changed with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s show. I am learning to say, never say never. The appreciation I received was more than what I had expected. I feel I have the confidence to accept newer challenges now,” she said.
When asked about maintaining a distance from Bollywood, Samantha said, “I was finding my footing in the South and gained confidence in my work only in the last two years. I was still making bad choices and not doing the kind of work that satisfied me. Things changed a great deal in the last two years, and now, I am confident about accepting challenges. I don’t try everything and then see what works. I usually take time to perfect something before moving on to another challenge. That’s why it has taken me this long to get this far.”
Well, we hope that the actress signs her maiden Bollywood project soon.
