Samantha Ruth Prabhu avoids paparazzi during city outing; actress covers face to stay low-key—WATCH

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who has been keeping a low profile in recent months, was recently spotted in the city. A video shared by social media showed the actress dressed casually as she walked towards her car. What caught attention was her deliberate effort to cover her face with a mask and avoid being clicked by the paparazzi.

Shared by Bollywood Chronicle, Samantha can be seen in the video, briskly moving towards her vehicle without engaging with the photographers around her. Fans online noted her choice to maintain privacy, with many praising her calm approach to the constant media spotlight. One netizen commented, "The pap showed concern for Samantha."

Not the first time with paparazzi

This isn’t the first time Samantha has shown discomfort with paparazzi culture. Back in June 2025, she was spotted leaving a gym session in Mumbai when the cameras surrounded her. A video from that day went viral, where Samantha, usually known for her composed demeanor, looked visibly upset. Speaking on the phone as she exited, she found herself surrounded by shutterbugs greeting her. A paparazzo was heard saying, “Hello, Samantha. Ma’am, good morning.” But an irritated Samantha turned to them and firmly said, “Stop it, guys.”

Samantha's earlier statement about pop culture

Meanwhile, earlier in a chat with Galatta India, Samantha opened up on feeling discomfort on being constantly photographed by paparazzi. She said, "It still gets to me. Every time I see a camera on my face, I have this little shudder." She further said that even though there are some celebs who call paparazzi to click their snaps, she has never done such a deed. Samantha also said that it instills a fear in her.

On the work front, it was recently that the 'Eega' actress ventured into production, and her first one was the horror film 'Shubham,' which received good reviews from the audiences.
