Samantha Ruth Prabhu loses her cool at constant paparazzi attention

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Samantha was seen exiting the gym dressed in a brown sports bra and matching co-ord set after her workout session. She was in the middle of a phone call when shutterbugs swarmed around her, catching her off-guard and visibly annoyed. 

While she initially asked them once to leave her alone, the paps continued clicking her as she tried to have a phone conversation. Visibly annoyed by the constant flashes and clicks, Samantha paused, turned around, and firmly told the paparazzi to stop before stepping back inside. The annoyance was evident in her face when she said:

“Rukho ji, please”

However, when Samantha returned to finally leave in her car, her irritation peaked at the sight of the photographers and this time, she snapped at them, saying, “Stop it, guys” before getting into her vehicle.

Netizens react to Samantha’s viral paparazzi moment

The entire incident was caught on camera and has since gone viral on Instagram and other social media platforms. The unexpected outburst triggered mixed reactions online. While many fans sympathised with Samantha, others felt the paparazzi were simply doing their job. One user commented, “Celebs are humans too, give them a break,” while another user wrote, “She usually handles them well; must have been a bad day.” Several users pointed out that Samantha, who usually smiles and acknowledges the media, seemed genuinely overwhelmed, hinting that something may have disturbed her mood. One comment read:

“Her face tells she is tensed and in an emergency. We should not expect that just because they are celebrities they will be in smiles always !!”
