Mumbai: Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who has been working in the industry for 15 years, observed that actors have a ‘short shelf life’.
Speaking about her journey from an actor to entrepreneur at the recently-held National Leadership Conclave at AIMA, Samantha talked about having an impact as a star, and how stardom and fame can get to one’s head.
She shared a snippet from her speech at the event on her Instagram handle.
“I think that as an actor you have a short shelf life. Something about stardom, fame and recognition can be so heady, and you can, for a brief moment think that it is all you. But it is not true. There is a lot of destiny and grace that comes to you when you are a star. It is not completely your own efforts. So I think that for me it was very important to understand that I wanted to create an impact larger than my shelf life as an actor,” read her Instagram post.
In another snippet, she said, “It is not some personal ego trip where I decide based on my intuition. I have a very able team around me who does all of the foundational work. I would be lost without them and now they do guide me to whether my intuition is absolute crap or makes sense.”
She captioned her post as, “At the @aima.india National Leadership Conclave, I had the privilege of joining remarkable women shaping the future of business and leadership. What I know for certain is that progress comes when we step forward, take risks, and trust in our own strength. To every woman with a vision… your voice matters, your ideas matter, and the world needs you to lead.”
On the work front, Samantha recently made a guest appearance in the Telugu film ‘Subham’, produced under her banner, Tralala Moving Pictures.
She was last seen in the Amazon Prime Video series ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, alongside Varun Dhawan.
She also runs her own YouTube channel where she shares videos related to health and wellness.
