wanted her to stay in and do nothing like an item number during a recent encounter.
samantha, however, had other ideas. In an
interview with Miss Malini,
samantha Ruth Prabhu stated that she was more than ready to perform the song because she had done nothing wrong. "I was in the midst of the separation when I was offered 'Oo Antava.
Samantha continued, "Even my friends, who always pushed me to challenge myself, told me, 'Do not do an item song,' after the
news came: "You will remain at home, you will not do an item song just when you have declared the separation." However, I replied, "Ok, I'm doing it."
According to
samantha Ruth Prabhu, "I just thought, 'why should I hide?'" Nothing I did was incorrect. I wasn't going to wait for the hate, harassment, and abuse to stop before coming back like someone who had done a crime. It was not something I was going to do, the performer continued. I gave my union my all, but it did not last. I was not, however, going to punish myself and feel bad for not doing something.
