Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been away from the limelight for some time, with recent reports suggesting that the star is facing health issues and has been suggested to stay away from the public glare. Dismissing these rumours, Samantha's manager mentioned that she's fine and there's no truth to the ongoing narrative.

Speaking to Indian Express, her manager Mahendra confirmed that the Oo Antava hitmaker is fine and called the reports "just gossip." However, he didn't comment on the reason behind Samantha's foreign trip. 

The clarification comes shortly after a report by Bollywood Hungama stated that the star wasn't keeping well for the last few months and had been advised to limit her public engagement. A source told the publication, "She has been advised to stay completely out of the public glare." Previous reports also suggested that Samantha is abstaining from social media to prepare for her part in Russo Brothers' Citadel.
