Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently on the road to recovery after battling Chikungunya, a viral disease known for causing severe joint pain and fatigue. The actress recently shared updates about her health on social media.
In a recent Instagram post, Samantha shared a cheerful photo of herself near a

room, expressing her relief with the caption, "My joints couldn't be happier right now." This therapy is part of her holistic approach to healing from the lingering effects of Chikungunya.
