The South sensation talks about her new role as a businesswoman and being finicky about film roles By SUBHASH K JHA
Samantha Ruth Prabhu needs no calling card. With her acting chops having made her a national sensation, the 37-year-old has a new preoccupation. Samantha has turned entrepreneur. "I think buying a pickleball team was a natural progression. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm very passionate about health and wellness and speak about it and engage in activities around it whenever possible. While growing up, I was always focused on studying like most Indian children. I never ever picked up a sport, and I always regret not doing that."
Samantha's social media presence speaks volumes about the actor's love for fitness.
