Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently sparked controversy by sharing an Instagram story endorsing an unconventional method for treating viral infections: using a nebulizer with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water.
Her post drew widespread criticism, prompting Samantha to defend her stance, which only escalated the controversy further. Despite limited support, actor Rahul Ravindran stood by Samantha, while his wife Chinmayi, who dubs for Samantha in most of her films, shares a close relationship with both.
Rahul Ravindran clarified his support, acknowledging Samantha’s lack of scientific expertise but emphasizing her thorough research and consultation with qualified medical professionals regarding the therapy. He also highlighted numerous articles supporting the treatment, suggesting a need for informed debate rather than criticism.
However, Rahul’s defense of Samantha drew backlash, with critics suggesting bias due to his personal connection. Rahul has since offered an explanation for his stance amidst the scrutiny.
