On Tuesday morning in the city of Mumbai, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu was put in an awkward spot with the paparazzi while leaving her gym. Wearing trendy brown gym co-ords a sports bra with matching track pants Samantha was caught on the phone when she was surrounded by photographers.
Obviously taken aback, the actress looked visibly irritated at the sudden barrage of attention and asked the cameras to put down. “Stop it guys, please,” she appealed while attempting to make her way to her car. But with her car still nowhere to be seen, Samantha was left waiting in the spot, agitated and surrounded. Though uncomfortable, she quickly composed herself again, apologized graciously saying “Sorry, guys,” and again asked them not to film.
Fans Respond to Viral Clip
The accident was filmed and has since become a viral hit on social media. Most fans were sympathetic to the actress, noting how much pressure one must endure from constant media scrutiny. “It’s no excuse, but give them some slack—they are only human,” posted one. Another posted, “Har roz ye cheeze toh koi bhi seh nahi sakta (No one can handle this every day).”
