South Indian film star Samantha Ruth Prabhu, celebrated for her roles in 'Majili,' 'Super Deluxe,' and 'Yashoda,' has become a powerful symbol of resilience and mindful living. Her journey took a significant turn following her diagnosis with myositis, an autoimmune condition that led her to completely overhaul her lifestyle towards a rigorous, health-first approach.
The Foundation of a Strict Anti-Inflammatory Regimen
In a candid conversation with renowned celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando, Samantha openly discussed the disciplined nature of her current eating plan. She described her diet as "a bit strict," a structure she adopted after deeply understanding how specific foods impacted her well-being post-diagnosis. Her approach is fundamentally an elimination-based, anti-inflammatory protocol.
"It's basically just finding out what doesn't work for you and eliminating it from your diet," the actor explained. She emphasized that this method demands absolute commitment and consistency, leaving no room for temporary lapses. "You strictly do it… there are no cheat days. I don't think I have a cheat day," Samantha stated, highlighting her unwavering dedication to this lifestyle, which she views as essential for managing her health.
Inside Samantha's Kitchen: What You Will and Won't Find
Her kitchen reflects this philosophy, stocked with predictable yet powerful ingredients aimed at reducing inflammation. As essential staples, she listed cruciferous vegetables, healthy fats like ghee and cold-pressed oils, along with generous amounts of turmeric, celery, and acai berries. These items form the cornerstone of her daily nutrition.
Conversely, there is one category of food that is permanently off her shopping list. "You will never find gluten in my shopping list," she affirmed, pointing to a common inflammatory trigger that she has successfully eliminated from her life.
Embracing the Lifestyle Beyond External Perceptions
While many around her perceive her diet as monotonous or overly restrictive, Samantha holds a radically different and positive view. She often encounters sympathy for her food choices, but she counters it with genuine contentment.
"People tend to sympathize with my diet all the time! But it's a way of life for me. I love what I eat," she shared. To illustrate her transformed relationship with food, she gave a striking example: "In fact, ask me to eat a doughnut. No offense, but I can't eat it. I don't crave such foods anymore." This shift in palate and preference underscores how her wellness journey is now an ingrained and satisfying part of her identity, not a burden.
In other personal news, Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru in a private ceremony. The wedding took place on a Monday at the Ling Bhairavi Temple within the Isha Yoga Centre, early in the morning, and was attended solely by close family and friends. The actor later delighted her fans by sharing the wedding photos on her official Instagram account.
