Samantha Ruth Prabhu: At the IIFA Utsavam in Dubai last month, actors Rana Daggubati and Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared an unforgettable moment of light-hearted banter on stage, which quickly went viral after Samantha’s fans posted a video online. The playful exchange between the two stars had the audience laughing, as Rana jokingly remarked how Samantha went from being his “sister-in-law to sister.” Here’s a look at their delightful interaction and the fun chemistry they shared on stage.
Rana’s Hilarious ‘Sister-in-Law to Sister’ Remark
The fun moment took place after Samantha Ruth Prabhu received the Women of the Year award from actor Vicky Kaushal at the event. Following this, both Rana Daggubati and actor Teja Sajja asked Samantha to stay on stage. The Baahubali actor, with his signature wit, couldn’t resist poking fun at Samantha, saying, “Samantha went from Tollywood to Hollywood. Went from my sister-in-law to sister.” This witty remark left Samantha in splits, as she burst out laughing. Her light-hearted reaction was followed by her playful comment: “What is this self-trolling about?”
This cheeky exchange was a nod to the friendly relationship between the two, particularly as Samantha was previously married to Naga Chaitanya, who happens to be Rana Daggubati’s cousin. Their bond appears to be more like family now, with Rana’s comment sparking an outpouring of love and laughter from fans.
Samantha’s Humorous Retort and Career Talk
In a continued playful mood, Rana Daggubati teased Samantha about her recent film choices, specifically questioning why she had not been doing many Telugu films lately. Samantha, known for her sharp wit, responded by saying, “If I do a film, it should be like Narasimha Naidu, not Rana Naidu.” For context, Rana Naidu is a Netflix crime series that Rana Daggubati stars in, whereas Narasimha Naidu is an iconic Telugu film from the 2000s, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Rana, always up for a laugh, humorously replied, “That’s not cinema, sister, it’s a show. They told me you can do anything on it, I learned that from Family Man.” This was in reference to Samantha’s role in the second season of the popular Prime Video series The Family Man, where she impressed audiences with her gripping performance.
Rana’s Playful Nickname for Samantha
The banter didn’t stop there. Rana, who enjoys teasing Samantha, also revealed a funny nickname he once gave her. “I used to call her Samantha Ruthless Prabhu,” he shared with a grin. This, of course, sent the audience into peals of laughter. Rana then quipped, “But where did comedy Sam go?” to which Samantha replied in her usual witty style, “Comedy Sam… controversial Sam. She went to sleep; good night.” Her cheeky response had everyone in the audience laughing, and it perfectly summed up their easy camaraderie.
Social Media Reacts: Fans Can’t Get Enough
The video of this hilarious interaction was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a fan account @HeartNaniSam, and it quickly went viral. The comment section exploded with fans praising the fun exchange. One user wrote, “Sammu is great,” while another simply commented, “Rana Bro” with laughing emojis. Many others flooded the section with laughing emojis, clearly enjoying the light-hearted moments between the two stars.
Samantha’s Upcoming Projects: What’s Next?
