Samantha Ruth Prabhu battles Myositis, gets message from ex-husband Naga Chaitanya's half-brother Akhil Akkineni!

Samantha Ruth Prabhu Health Update News: Actress shared a touching post on her medical condition, an autoimmune disorder known as Myositis and many celebs thronged social media to wish her a speedy recovery.

New Delhi: Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently has opened up on battling with Myositis - an autoimmune condition. She took to her social media handle and wrote in a long caption: "Your response to the Yashodha Trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis. I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you.. THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
