Samantha Ruth Prabhu, popular for her acting prowess in Tamil, Telugu, and Bollywood films, has ventured into the world of podcasts, shedding light on her health journey. In her debut podcast, titled “Understanding Autoimmunity,” Samantha collaborates with wellness coach Alkesh Sharotri to discuss her battle with an autoimmune condition for the past two years.
The podcast delves into the complexities of autoimmunity, where the immune system attacks healthy cells, causing health issues. Alkesh explains that an imbalance between toxic input and detox output triggers such conditions. Samantha expresses surprise, feeling guilty despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular workouts, a balanced diet, and good habits. Stress from work and insufficient sleep, she reveals, played pivotal roles in her health challenges.
Samantha said, “I felt guilty as I believed that my good lifestyle, workouts, diet food, and all other good habits would never cause health issues. However, despite having such a healthy lifestyle, auto-immune occurs, due to extreme work stress and also lack of proper sleep”.
During the candid interview, both Samantha and Alkesh highlight the impact of environmental factors, from the air we breathe to the cosmetics we use, on autoimmune conditions. Samantha’s uneasy laugh when discussing cosmetics hints at a something significant.
The debut podcast serves as an introduction to Samantha’s myositis journey, providing a glimpse into the challenges she faced. The forthcoming episodes promise to unravel the details of her journey, shedding light on how she navigated through adversity.
