Samantha Ruth Prabhu is among the leading actresses in Tollywood. Even though she stays away from films due to health issues, she remains active on social media, regularly treating her fans with glamorous posts. Recently, a post about her using a nebulizer sparked controversy. Doctors criticized her post, leading to a flood of negative comments. One doctor’s statement that Samantha should be jailed became particularly controversial, escalating the dispute as Samantha also responded with a strong counter. Let’s explore the reasons behind this controversy in this narrative.
Samantha’s Health Tip!
The renowned actress Samantha is currently undergoing treatment for myositis and regularly updates about her medical treatments on social media. Recently, she posted about nebulization. She recommended certain medications to be used in nebulization for viral infections, suggesting, “Mix hydrogen peroxide with distilled water for nebulization. It works wonderfully. Try this instead of unnecessary tablets.” Samantha also tagged her friend, Dr. Basu Chillar, who suggested this treatment. This post quickly went viral on the internet.
Samantha Should Be Jailed: Doctor
Following Samantha’s viral post, many doctors expressed their disapproval. They took to social media to criticize her health tips seriously. Dr. Abi Philips, known as ‘TheLiverDoc,’ was particularly vocal. He warned on his X account that following Samantha’s advice could be fatal, labeling her as ignorant about health and science and accusing her of misleading the public. He demanded that she be jailed or fined for her actions. This post, too, quickly went viral on social media.
Samantha’s Strong Counter
In response to the doctor’s warning that she should be jailed, actress Samantha gave a strong counter on Instagram with a lengthy post. “I am not naive enough to give advice without fully understanding a treatment. The treatment was recommended by a doctor with an MD degree who has served the DRDO for 5 years. It’s unfortunate that a grown man attacked my post and intentions with such harsh words. It would have been better if he had discussed this with the doctor who treated me. I am not upset that he criticized me for needing to be jailed; perhaps it’s easier to accuse me because I am a celebrity. However, I did not give that health tip as a celebrity but as a common person,” wrote Samantha.
