Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has received widespread applause for her scintillating performance in the dance number “OoAntavaOoOoAntava” from the film Pushpa The Rise. However, the decision to take up the song wasn’t easy for the actress, as her friends, family, and well-wishers had advised her against it.
Samantha had just announced her separation from her former husband, Naga Chaitanya, when she was offered the song. Her loved ones were concerned about the timing and the potential backlash that she might face from fans and critics alike.
However, Samantha refused to sit at home after her separation and decided to take up the challenge of doing something new. “I didn’t do anything wrong, and I’m not going to feel guilty for something I didn’t do,” the actress said.
Despite the initial reluctance from her loved ones, Samantha was convinced to do the song because she loved the lyrics and how it was positioned. She saw it as an opportunity to explore a different character and viewed the song as another character, not just an item number. The decision to take up the song has proved to be wise, as Samantha’s performance has been widely appreciated by audiences and critics alike.
