South sensation Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who recently opened up about being diagnosed with myositis, is continuing to shell out fitness goals even amid treatment for the autoimmune condition. The actress on Saturday penned a sweet note to praise her fitness coach Junaid Shaikh for helping her stay motivated even amid the difficult phase.
The first picture showed Sam cutely hugging Junaid as he stood in the gym with a box of her favourite sweet – jalebi. Samantha also shared a picture of her fitness board and a video which shows her working out even with an IV tube stuck to her hand. The fitness trainer can be heard motivating the Oo Antava beauty to do some more reps.
Alongside the post, the actress penned, “@junaid.shaikh88 has never ever thought I did enough to deserve my favourite Jalebi. But today he did, to celebrate Yashoda’s success and especially the action scenes.”
Opening up about her fitness journey amid treament and how Junaid supported her, she added, “The last few months you have been among the few people who has seen it all.. my lowest of lows… through the weakness, through the tears, through the high dose steroid therapies… through it all. You didn’t let me give up.. and I know you won’t let me ever give up. Thankyou.”
Varun Dhawan, Samyutkha Hegde and thousands of others showered Sam with love after the post was shared online. The latter wrote, “You are a constant inspiration.” A netizen commented, “More power to you and love you.”
After months of speculation around her health, the 35-year-old diva finally opened up about her medical condition last month.
On the work front, Samantha’s much-awaited film Yashoda was released in theatres on Friday. The movie written and directed by filmmaker duo Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan received a positive response.
Up next, she will be seen in Khushi, Shakuntalam and a Hollywood film.
