Strength in Vulnerability
"It is not about how many times you fall, but about how you rise every single time. Myositis has taught me that strength isn't just physical—it's the will to keep going."
Her Mission with Myositis India
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of India’s most celebrated cinema icons. In 2022, she went public with her diagnosis of Myositis. It was a moment that paused the industry. Rather than retreating from the public eye, she chose to document her recovery, the setbacks, and the realities of living with an autoimmune disease.
Her openness has done more than just inform; it has validated the pain of thousands who suffer in silence. As the face of Myositis India, she champions a three-pronged approach: Awareness, Patient Advocacy, and Research funding. She is not just an ambassador; she is a fellow warrior.
Public Awareness
Demystifying symptoms to reduce diagnosis time. Running national media campaigns.
Patient Support
Connecting patients to rheumatologists and mental health experts.
Policy & Research
Advocating for lower medication costs and funding local research.
