Samantha Ruth Prabhu On Dropping Her Last Name On Social Media

Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been trending big time ever since she dropped her last name on her Instagram and Twitter profiles. Dropping her surname Akkineni, the actress changed her display name on Instagram and Twitter to ‘S’. In a recent interview with Film Companion, she addressed the hype around her name change and said, “The thing is, even with trolling for The Family Man or this, I don’t react to them. That is how I have always been. I don’t react to this kind of noise and I don’t intend on doing so as well.”

The 34-year-old actress added that she likes to stay distant from the “noise” on social media and told Film Companion, “Everybody wanted me to react to The Family Man issue. There were like 65000 tweets hammering me. I just thought no. I will speak when I have to speak and when I feel like saying something. I will not be bulldozed into saying something.”
