Samantha Ruth Prabhu was born to Joseph Prabhu and Ninette Prabhu in Chennai. Her father is a Telugu Anglo-Indian. In a recent comment from the actress’ spokesperson, it was revealed that Samantha and her family are in a period of mourning and have requested fans, along with the media, to grant them privacy during these trying times.

Recently, in an interview with Galatta India, Samantha opened up about her relationship with her father and how she had to fight to seek validation. The actress expressed herself and shared details about her strained relationship, saying, “My father was kind of like... I think most Indian parents are like that. They think they’re protecting you. He actually told me, ‘You’re not that smart.’”

The actress also revealed that her father would often criticize her, even for getting good grades, attributing them to a flawed education system. This led her to doubt herself and affected her during the early stages of her career, even making her question the success she achieved.
