When Samantha struggled to get clothes from designers
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming web series Citadel made heads turn when she proudly spoke about how far the South Industry and the actors have come.
However, the Shaakuntalam actress also revealed that there was a time when she and her peers from the South were denied clothes from top designers.
Last year, in an interview with Gulte, the 37-year-old actress said, "It's absolutely wonderful. There were times when we South actors couldn't source garments from designers because they were like, 'Who are you? South actor? What south?"
From being denied designer clothes to being style icons, the South entertainment industry has certainly come a long way. Kudos to Samantha and the rest actors who have successfully carved a niche for themselves.
