Indian actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu often inspires and motivates fans to live a healthy and happy lifestyle. Earlier this year, she even started her health podcast, Take 20, to produce wellness-related content for her fans.

Samantha recently shared a promo of her podcast's upcoming episode about "carbohydrate metabolism" on Instagram.

While many expressed excitement for the upcoming episode of Take 20, some criticised Samantha for promoting junk food in ads and endorsing unhealthy brands.

Samantha quickly took notice of the comment and admitted that she might have done so in the past. However, she clarified that she is not accepting such endorsements anymore and she plans to practice what she preaches.

Reacting to a comment that read, "No.1 drama she creates, she will act in every ad like ice cream, cold drinks etc," Samantha wrote, "I have made mistakes in the past when I didn't know any better, but I have since stopped accepting many, many endorsements. I believe in practising what I preach. God bless."

Samantha's fans quickly came out in her support. One fan wrote, "You should have the common sense to not eat or drink things that come in ads." Another commented, "First understand that there is a clear difference between onscreen 'act' and doing a realistic podcast! Secondly, she has already told before that she will be more cautious of the choices she makes & does further."

Back in 2022, Samantha was diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune disease. After the diagnosis, she decided to take a short break from acting.

Currently, Samantha is gearing up for the release of Citadel: Honey Bunny, which also stars Varun Dhawan.

Samantha is also all set to make her debut as a producer with Bangaram.
