Samantha Ruth Prabhu appears to have mastered the art of dealing with internet haters. On Friday, the actress responded sarcastically to a troll who predicted that she would die alone. Everything took place on Twitter.
Samantha had posted a photo of her beloved dogs earlier in the day. While working out, she was spotted enjoying time with her favourite dog Sasha in the photo. Fans applauded the image when it was published on Twitter. However, she was attacked by a social media user.
I would consider myself lucky ☺️ https://t.co/QH5XEtfALK

“She will end up dying alone with cats and dogs,” the tweet read. Samantha retweeted the message and replied, “I would consider myself lucky.” After receiving backlash from her followers, the user removed the tweet. A fan, though, was able to get a screenshot of it.
Fans praised her for tackling the situation calmly. “He commented to insult her but rather than taking it anger she quoted with a positive reply How how it’s possible now I say my girl will reach greater heights @Samanthaprabhu2,” a fan tweeted. “This is savage my dear! You are giving back-to-back slaps to these people who have no other job to do,” added another. “I would like to say 2012 Sam and 2022 Sam is different a complete matured girl she is right now @Samanthaprabhu2 She knows how to react and what to say 💖 always prefer positive upon negativity, won hearts,” a third fan noted.
Samantha’s connection with social media is tumultuous. After she and Naga Chaitanya announced their separation, the trolls abused her even more. Samantha has spoken about the love and abuse she receives on social media in the past. “I wouldn’t say that it is not hard. I would not take bullying on social media lightly. It is not easy. It could have a lot of repercussions on one’s mental health. So, I am not going to make it seem like it is a small issue. I can handle it, as I have experienced it over the years. Some others might not be able to, and they should be able to seek help from friends and family,” she told ETimes.
