Amid dating rumours with Raj Nidimoru, Samantha Ruth Prabhu talks about 'real love': 'No one told me I was...'

Apart from her movies and web shows, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been garnering headlines for her rumoured affair with The Family Man and Farzi co-director Raj Nidimoru. Amid this, the actress spoke about finding true love and shared how women in their thirtees have different perspectives compared to their twenties.

Samantha shared a video of facing the camera and shared a long note, which read, “@avnirambhia and I were having a conversation yesterday and it got me thinking… (it’s a long read 🤍🤍🤍) The world tells you, everything after thirty is downhill. That your glow will fade, your beauty will slip away, and you should rush through your twenties trying to be everything…perfect face, perfect body, perfect life… as if time is running out. My twenties were loud, restless. I spent them hurrying. Hurrying to look enough, to feel enough, to be enough. Hurrying to hold the façade together so no one would see how lost I felt inside. No one told me I was already whole. No one told me, that love… real love… would find me as I was, without twisting myself into someone I was never meant to be."

“Then came my thirties. Something softened. Something opened. I stopped dragging around the weight of old mistakes. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped living two lives… the one I showed the world and the one I lived in silence. And suddenly, the person I was in public was the same person I was when no one was watching. And that was the most alive I had ever felt. I wish this for every girl. I wish her wholeness. I wish her the kind of peace that comes when she stops running and finally comes home to herself. Because when you are fully yourself… without apology, without disguise… you don’t just free yourself. You set the whole world free," she added.
