'Pushpa: The Rise' was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2021. One thing that generated more buzz than the movie itself was Samantha Ruth Prabhu&rsquo;s dance number 'Oo Antava'. But did you know the actress feared the idea of the song, as she feels 'sexy' is not her thing?
Samantha on Oo Antava
Speaking with India Today, Samantha shared, &ldquo;I think the decision to do Oo Antava was similar to doing Raji (her character in The Family Man 2. I think the good side of not having too many people around you, no people in your ear putting their opinions that you need to cater to. This is the good side. The flip side is, that I need to make mistakes, learn from them and own my gut instincts. The decision to do Oo Antava came from the place where I had to explore that facet of being an actor. I have always been very uncomfortable with my sexuality. I am not very comfortable or confident. I have always operated from a place like &lsquo;I am not good enough, I don&rsquo;t feel pretty, I don&rsquo;t look like the other girls.&rdquo;
Samantha revealed her legs were shaking
The actress in the interviews shared that she thinks that sexy is not her things and while shooting the song, Samantha was shaking from fear. &ldquo;For me, it was a huge challenge. The first shot of Oo Antava, and I was shaking from fear because sexy is not my thing. But, how I have grown both as an actor and as a person is that I put myself in the most difficult circumstances and fight to overcome them. That is like how I am slaying these demons,&rdquo; she added.
