Samantha Ruth Prabhu's audacious and stunning performance in Pushpa's dance routine "Oo Antava" lit up the big screen. Her sultry dancing skills and her dazzling connection with allu arjun captivated fans. Did you know, though, that her family and friends discouraged her from performing the dance number? Yes, exactly!
 Given that she was going through a split with her ex-husband naga Chaitanya, they thought it would not be the best decision.  
Samantha previously told an entertainment magazine that her family had told her to ignore the song since she was still being separated. Nevertheless, the actress from Shaakuntalam chose to go anyhow, and the rest is history.


Samantha reflected on the moment, saying, "I was in the middle of the separation when I was presented with Oo Antava. After I announced my split, every friend and member of my family advised me to stay at home and refrain from performing an item song.
 
The kushi actress found no reason to reject Oo Antava, therefore she approved it despite the suggestion. samantha went on, "Why should I keep it a secret? I didn't make a mistake. Despite my best efforts, my marriage did not succeed. I wasn't going to feel bad about something that wasn't my fault or beat myself up over it.
 
In the meanwhile, on Wednesday, november 6, Samantha's much-awaited series Citadel: Honey bunny made its amazon Prime Video debut.
