Samantha Ruth Prabhu says she was ‘addicted to fame’ till Myositis saved her from her ego | Telugu News

For years, Samantha Ruth Prabhu ran what she now calls a hallucination, a race with no finish line, no real competition, and no clear purpose, until illness stopped her in her tracks and forced her to start over. “I think I was also young and very very keen to run the race,” she spoke in an interview with Gulthe. “After my second break, I realised there is no race. You realise it is a hallucination that there is a race, that there is competition, that there is someone to beat or there is a finish line. Now I’m not running any race and I don’t see any finish line.” The addiction, she admitted, began early. A girl from a small town who stumbled into the spotlight and could not quite believe what she found there. “It was shocking to me that a girl from nowhere, like from a small town, experienced stardom and people love me,” she said. “They were loving me on the big screen. They are looking forward to watching my films. They …

‘When you win one World Cup, you are addicted to winning and want another one’

‘When you win one World Cup, you are addicted to winning and want another one’

India’s hero of the 50-over ICC World Cup title Jemimah Rodrigues has said that after having won one title, the feeling can get addictive. Now India wants another, and the opportunity arrived at the T20 extravaganza in England. Jemi was quick to issue a disclaimer when speaking on Jiostar’s ‘Jazbaa Jeet Ka’, saying, ‘addiction’ may sound like a negative word, but the 50-over ODI triumph had them tasting blood. “What has happened with that World Cup win is that it has empowered us to be motivated to do even better,” she said. “When you win one, and it may sound like a negative word, is almost like an addiction, you want to win another one. It pushes you even more.” India are nowhere near favourites at the England showpiece, but slot in nicely as dark horse, with the November 2nd triumph ensuring they are not longer taken lightly. Still, T20s call for alterations. “As a batter, it is just a shift in mindset. In T20 cricket, compared to other formats, you have to take calculated …

Janhvi Kapoor shares a statement calling out misinterpretation On Sunday, Janhvi shared a post from Off The Rocks and Amaha, which read, “We at Off The Rocks & Amaha have noticed certain media pages misrepresenting content associated with this initiative and Janhvi Kapoor. This is deeply concerning.” The statement further read, “We want to be clear: Janhvi Kapoor is part of this conversation as a caregiver and ally, not as someone who has had any personal experience of addiction or alcohol dependence.

BPO employee-turned-thief addicted to gambling caught by police

Following a house break-in, Begur police arrested a 27-year-old BPO employee involved in eight such cases in and around the city. The accused, identified as Murthy K., a resident of Bommanahalli, was a BCA graduate working with a private firm. The police said that he confessed that he was paid a low salary but was addicted to online gambling. This led him to steal gold valuables and cash from the locked houses, Inspector Krishna Kumar said.
