Samantha Ruth Prabhu has gained popularity not just for her South Indian blockbusters, but also for her outstanding performances in Hindi films. Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently spoke with media on why she had she stayed away from Bollywood for so long and how OTT platforms are helping to break down barriers.

Samantha recently participated in the web series 'Family Man 2' as Raji, for those who are unaware. The actress received a lot of praise for her tense performance on the show.

When asked if she is ready for Bollywood, she said "I had never believed I would do a web series, but that changed with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK's show." Never say never is something I'm learning. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of gratitude I received. "I believe I now have the courage to take on fresh challenges."

Samantha said that she was still finding her feet in the South and just got confidence in her work in the last two years, which is why she stayed away from Bollywood for so long. "I was still making poor decisions and performing work that did not satisfy me." Things have changed dramatically in the previous two years, and I am now comfortable taking on new tasks. I don't experiment with everything to discover what works. Before moving on to the next task, I normally take my time to master things. That is why it has taken me so long to get here," she said.
