Samantha Ruth Prabhu has left her fans concerned and worried. On Thursday evening, the actress was spotted by the paparazzi when she struggled to open her eyes and walk forward due to repeated flashes from the shutterbugs’ cameras. For the unversed, the actress is also battling with an autoimmune condition called Myositis.

In a video of the incident that has now surfaced online, Samantha can be seen even apologising to paps for not being able to pose properly for them. Somebody from the actress’ team can also be heard saying, ‘flash nahi’.

Samantha opened up about myositis last year. In a recent interview, the Shaakuntalam actress talked about her struggle with the same and revealed that her eyes are sensitive to light. “As an actor, your eyes are a medium to express emotions and every day, I wake up with pins and needles in my eyes. I am sensitive to light. I don’t wear glasses just for fun and style, the light actually affects my eyes. I have intense migraine, and I have intense pain in my eyes, they swell from the pain and this has been the case for the past 8 months. This is probably the worst thing to happen to an actor,” Samantha told Bollywood Bubble.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Samantha is gearing up for the release of Shaakuntalam which also stars Dev Mohan. Shaakuntalam portrays the epic love story of Shakuntala and King Dushyant from Mahabharata. The film will hit theatres on April 14.
