First Published Dec 5, 2022, 4:21 PM IST

Some South female actors, such Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Shruti Haasan, Nayanthara, Poonam Kaur, and Ileana D'Cruz, are succeeding in the field while having to deal with significant health concerns.
 

When we see our favourite South actors, we are drawn to their flawless bodies, radiant skin, beautiful hair, and fashionable attire. What we don't understand, though, is what lies underneath that glittering façade. Social media has recently aided in closing the gap between famous people and their followers. Several celebrities have disclosed their health problems online throughout the years. This takes us to the day's subject. Today, we'll look at a few actresses that have successful careers while having serious health problems

Ileana D'Cruz

Ileana D'Cruz
Ileana D'Cruz, a longtime actor in the South, has disclosed that she suffers body dysmorphia, a mental illness that makes a person feel self-conscious about their physical appearance. You will always find something wrong with yourself, regardless of your size or the number on the scale. The issue is that you frequently ask others to confirm your anxieties.
 That's the issue with body dysmorphia, she reportedly said in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu
The Yashoda actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu posted a photo from the hospital on her Instagram account in October of this year. Her photo was accompanied by a touching statement detailing her battle with myositis, an inflammatory condition that causes the muscles to become inflamed, "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."
