Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared her workout routine on her Instagram handle on Thursday. The 35-year-old actor who suffers from an autoimmune condition called myositis posted a video of herself doing pull-ups at a gym. In the video, Samantha seems indefatigable as she leaps and catches a gym rod held over her head while using it as a prop to do pull-ups like a pro.  

Samantha is dressed in a cropped grey sweatshirt, matching exercise leggings, and a pink and maroon tie-dye sports bra. Praising her trainer in the caption, Samantha also mentioned that she is following an autoimmune diet.

Samantha wrote, "It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. Thank you for the inspiration @whoisgravity. You’ve gotten me through some tough days. Being on the strictest possible diet (The autoimmune diet.. yes there is such a thing) has taught me that strength is not what you eat.. it’s how you think @junaid.shaikh88."
