From diagnosis to learning a life lesson: Here's what Samantha Ruth Prabhu has to say about her autoimmune condition 'Myositis'

Telugu superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu wears her heart on her sleeve. She never shies away from keeping her life an open book. The most happening actress recently took the world by surprise with her confession about her health condition. Here's what she has got to share about her rare medical condition.

Samantha recently took to her Instagram handle to share a picture from the hospital bed and revealed that she was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition called 'Myositis'. She initially wanted to share after her recovery but it is taking longer than expected, according to her.

She wrote, "A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped."

Samantha in one of her recent interactions with host Suma Kanakala revealed that her condition is not 'life threatening' as it is rumoured to be.

"My myositis is not life threatening to me at this phase of life but it is difficult. I'm here to fight and still alive. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon," she said.

Samantha in her social media post confessed that she is struggling with 'accepting' her 'vulnerability'.

"I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with," she mentioned in the post.

Both in her social media post and chat with Suma, Samantha revealed that some days are 'good' and some are 'bad' lately and she is 'here to fight'.

"Some days are good days, some days are bad days. At times, I feel I can't even make a single step anymore, at times when I look back, I feel like I've come across so much. I'm here to fight," she reiterated.

However, Samantha is battling her condition with a ray of hope. She asserted that victory is certainly hers.

"I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. I'm not the alone, there are many fighters and we'll win at the end (sic)," she said.

Every battle in life teaches something or the other and Samantha isn't an exception, too. "If there is anything that this condition has taught me, there's nothing in our hands. Life has its own ways of figuring out things," she said in her camaraderie with Suma Kanakala.
