Samantha Ruth Prabhu discusses why things didn’t work out and acknowledges that she made “some mistakes in the past”: “I accept failure.”

Speaking candidly about her recent movies, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu said that she “might not have done my best” in them. The actor admitted to making “some mistakes in the past” during an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram on Monday. She described her upcoming role as the “most layered, complicated, and challenging role” of her career when discussing Citadel: Honey Bunny.

A person asked, “Can you tell us how hard have you worked for Citadel and what your character would look like?” Samantha said, “I made a promise to myself that I’ll challenge myself with every role that I take, each challenge being more difficult than the last one. I agree I made some mistakes in the past and things haven’t really worked out, and I accept failure. I accept that I might not have done my best in my last few films.”

“Citadel is something that I am truly proud of, even before its release just for the fact that I was able to complete the project. So I’m already proud of it. I also do believe that it is the most layered, complicated, and challenging role that I have played in my career. But I’m just gonna allow you to be the judge of that,” she concluded with a smile.

Samantha’s most recent films are Shaakuntalam and Kushi (2023) and Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal and Yashoda (2022).
