Samantha Ruth Prabhu has never shied away from being candid about her journey with health. Diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myositis in 2022, the actress has since transformed her lifestyle, embracing a holistic approach that has not only strengthened her physically but also shifted her perspective on life. In a recent conversation with Grazia, Samantha reflected on her evolved relationship with health. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can have 100 problems until you have a health problem, and after that you only have one problem—and that’s the health problem.’ Everything in life circles back to looking after my health,” she said.

“Born imperfect, and that’s okay”: Ibrahim Ali Khan owns his speech impediment in new ad campaign

Ibrahim Ali Khan, who made his debut with Nadaaniyan earlier this year, has embraced his imperfections in a new ad campaign for the retail brand Wrogn. In the video, Ibrahim speaks candidly about his speech impediment, choosing to use his own voice—lisp and all—rather than dubbing. “Some people are born gifted, and some, born imperfect. As for me, I was born imperfect. And that’s okay, man. Perfection is just overrated yaar,” he says in the ad. Sharing the campaign on Instagram, he added, “For the longest time, I thought I had to ‘get it right’. Turns out, what’s real is far more powerful than what’s perfect.

Feels relatable and real,” and “In an era where filter and fakeness rule, it’s inspiring to see authenticity take the spotlight.” Another wrote, “I think you’re perfect..!! Good post though,” while one called it “Such an important message.”   View this ...

Speaking at the event, she shared her thoughts on fitness, highlighting the need to maintain both physical and mental well-being.
