Samantha Instagram – Cover girl 😊 • @elleindia #ELLEDigitalCoverStar: After a crackling 11-year career in the southern film industry, Samantha Ruth Prabhu @samantharuthprabhuoffl has now embarked on the second phase of her journey. Professionally, we see her overcoming her fears, breaking free of the girl-next-door trope, which has latched on to her since her magical debut in Ye Maaya Chesave (2010), as well as the victim-turns-victor stereotype favoured by “heroine-oriented” films. “I’ve always fought being typecast as the bubbly, cute, non-threatening persona,” says Samantha.
