Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is leaving no stone unturned for the promotions of her upcoming film Shaakuntalam, held an Ask Sam session on Sunday on her Twitter handle. As soon as session commenced, the Family Man 2 actress was hounded by fans, questioning her about all things possible. However, the cutest and perhaps the one that got us smiling was this. A fan uploaded a picture of Samantha wearing spectacles and wrote, “your new teen-girl looks are so cute, do you mind continue being this cute for a little longer.” Replying to the fan’s adorable request, Samantha wrote, “Glasses are my new best friend.”

A few days ago, a video of the actress went viral across social media. In the video, Samantha can be seen squinting her eyes while expressing her discomfort at the flashbulbs from the paparazzi cameras pointed towards her. Samantha can be heard saying, “I am very sorry but this flash,” as she squints to protect her eyes while smiling through the ordeal. For the unversed, the actress had previously revealed in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that the light affects her eyes. Last year, Samantha Ruth Prabhu revealed through a post that she has been diagnosed with Mytosis, a rare condition that causes muscles to become weak, sore, and tired.
“You know, your eyes, the medium to express emotions, and every day I wake up with pins and needles in my eyes. Every day I go through this pain. I am sensitive to light and I can’t, which is why you know I don’t wear glasses just for fun and for style. The light actually affects my eyes. I have intense migraine, I have intense pain in my eyes and they swell from the pain and this is every single day for the last eight months,” Samantha Ruth Prabhu was quoted saying.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Twitter AMA session was indeed a fun one and her timeline stands as proof. In another instance, a fan asked, “Dude, where do you get your strength from… how do you keep on going strong despite so many fu**** happening…” To this, she replied, “Because this is not how my story will end. I decide. #Shaakuntalam.”
