Samantha: Didn't think could do Citadel Honey Bunny because of my health

Samantha was a guest at Business Today's Most Powerful Women event. During her session, the actor spoke about her entrepreneurial journey, her recent release Citadel: Honey Bunny and on choosing roles representing women.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who has recently mesmerised the audience with her performance in the Raj and DK web series, Citadel Honey Bunny, graced the Business Today's Most Powerful Women event, for a session titled The Star and the Start-up: Fame, Fans, Fortune. At the session, she discussed the series, her journey as an entreprenuer and also shared that she would always be an actor and decide from the point of view of an actor.

ON INITIALLY BACKING OUT OF CITADEL HONEY BUNNY

I didn't need to be persuaded, but conditions of my health prevented me from... I didn't think I could do it because it's a serious condition. But, they (Raj and DK) didn't take no for an answer, and I am glad they didn't.

ON WHETHER SHE WANTS TO BE ASSOCIATED TO ACTION ONLY

I am open to any challenge. This was a challenge that really inspired me. This is usually a male actor's playground and meant for the boys, but it was fun to play.

ON HER JOURNEY AS AN ENTREPRENEUR

I will always be an actor and make decisions from the point of being an actor. The decision to be an entrepreneur feels like a great plot twist - One world is about moment to moment presence and the other is looking ahead at the future. There is this amazing duality. It is intense and extremely exciting to be at this point in my life. I think one compliments the other.
