India, May 12 -- Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu delighted fans when she lit up the screens with her sizzling dance number Oo Antava in Pushpa: The Rise (2021), alongside actor Allu Arjun. The song became a huge hit, with fans drooling over Samantha's hotness. However, in a recent interview, Samantha opened up about how people advised her against doing the special number. "As much as people love to think that I do things to make statements for other people, I do it to challenge myself. Throughout my life, I never considered myself a good-looking, hot woman. I think Oo Antava was an opportunity for me to see if I could fake it and pull it off. I had never done that before. So, it was a challenge to myself," Samantha told Galatta Plus. She further stated that she was surprised when the song was offered to her: "Who thinks of me for a special song - and that too, one in which I had to look really hot? I was always playing the cute, bubbly, girl-next-door. It wasn't about the dance, it was about the attitude - the fierce, confident woman who is always comfortable in her sexuality - all of these, which I am not. I was shaking in front of 500 junior artists before the first shot. I was so nervous." htc...
