About Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s post and doctor’s reaction

Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently shared a picture of herself trying out the viral medication on Instagram. Alongside, she wrote, “Before taking medication for a common viral, consider trying an alternative approach. One option is to nebulise with a mixture of Hydrogen peroxide and distilled water. Works like magic. Avoid unnecessary use of pills.”

Her Instagram Story caught the attention of Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, who goes by “The Liver Doc” on social media. The hepatologist not only said that this nebulisation has adverse effects on health but also slammed the actor, calling her “health and science illiterate”. “Influential Indian actress Ms Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who is, unfortunately, a health and science illiterate, advises millions of her followers to inhale hydrogen peroxide to prevent and treat respiratory viral infections,” wrote the multi-award-winning doctor on X. The doctor then demanded a stern punishment against Samantha and stated that she should be put in jail. “In a rational and scientifically progressive society, this woman will be charged with endangering public health and fined or put behind bars. She needs help or a better advisor in her team,” he wrote.

On the work front, the actress is gearing up for the release of Indian version of Citadel with Varun Dhawan. The series is made by Raj and DK.
