Mom-to-be Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals having a 'mini breakdown', realises her clothes don't fit anymore
Mumbai, Aug 14
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is expecting her first child with filmmaker-husband Raj Nidimoru, shared a candid glimpse of her pregnancy journey on Thursday night.
The actress, in a light hearted note, revealed about having a "mini breakdown" after which she realised that most of her wardrobe no longer fits her.
Samantha took to her social media account to share a mirror selfie in a casual outfit.
She wrote, "Right after my mini breakdown realising most of my wardrobe doesn't fit anymore. That lasted all of 2 seconds. Holiday with 2 sets of clothes it is (sic)"
As Samantha is all set to enter a new phase of her life, she seems to be preparing in full swing to welcome her firstborn.
The actress, who tied the knot in December 2025 with Raj, confirmed that she was expecting her first child this year.
As part of her preparation for motherhood, Samantha had recently shared a glimpse of her August diaries on social media. In one of the pictures, she was seen reading Ina May Gaskin's Ina May's Guide to Childbirth while relaxing on a couch. She captioned the post, "August energy."
For the uninitiated, Samantha's pregnancy announcement came during the success meet of her latest release, Maa Inti Bangaaram, in Hyderabad in June.
Addressing the media, she said she would take a brief maternity break after completing her current professional commitments.
"After Maa Inti Bangaaram, I will have to take a small break, given my condition. I'll have to take maternity leave. After that, I'll be back with another film for my fans," Samantha had said.
Samantha and Raj's professional association dates back to The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny, after which their relationship evolved beyond the workplace.

Finally, a celebrity who talks about the not-so-glamorous side of pregnancy. More power to Samantha for being so candid. Maternity leave is very important, glad she's prioritising herself.
The '2 seconds breakdown' part got me 😂 That's the spirit! She's glowing and handling this phase with so much grace. Looking forward to seeing her back on screen after the break.
It's great that she's taking time off. Being a new mom is a full-time job. Also, reading a childbirth guide shows how serious she is about this new chapter. Wishing her all the best!
This is nice to see. In Hollywood, we get this kind of honesty from celebrities, but it's refreshing to see it from Indian stars too. Her attitude towards this life change is commendable.
With all due respect, I do feel we glorify celebrity pregnancy a bit too much. But I appreciate her honesty about the challenges. Let's also remember that she has support; many women don't. Still, wishing her a safe and happy pregnancy.
❤️ Love how she's keeping it real. It's not just about the glow, it's about the small struggles too. And Raj seems like a supportive partner. Best wishes
