Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is not just making waves on the screen — she’s becoming a voice for mental and physical well-being through her health platform ‘Take 20 Health’. With powerful conversations and personal revelations, Samantha is inspiring many by opening up about her own struggles — including one most people silently suffer from: phone addiction.
In a recent episode focused on ‘Biohacking’, Samantha shared a relatable yet bold confession — she was once deeply addicted to her smartphone.
“It felt like a toxic relationship,” she admitted.
“I couldn’t stay without my phone. It was affecting me emotionally.”
Realizing the need for change, she embarked on a digital detox journey. For three full days, Samantha cut off from the world — no phone, no people, no talking.
“It was tough initially, but transformative,” she explained.
“I asked myself — is this the life I want? That’s when I began resetting my habits.”
This detox not only helped her regain balance, but it also became a turning point in her personal growth.
Samantha, who now wears multiple hats — actress, producer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of ‘Secret Alchemist’ (a personal care brand) and ‘Saaki’ (a fashion label) — says a structured personal routine and self-awareness have become key to her well-being.
Her story is a reminder that even celebrities struggle with screen addiction — and that disconnecting can sometimes be the best way to reconnect with yourself.
