Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who made her Koffee With Karan <\/i> debut with tonight’s episode was at her candid best. The actress also talked about her professional life on the show. When Karan Johar asked her: “Was it a brave decision that you go and do a song like Oh Antava<\/i> almost 2 weeks ago pushpa<\/i> saw the theatrical release?” He added, “Was that a rebellious move? Was that a strategic move? Or was that something you just felt “F*** it I’ll do it.?” Samantha said, “The third, f*** it I’ll do it. I mean why not? I loved the song. It was a satire on the male gaze. I know I got a lot of criticism about pandering to the male gaze while making a satire on the male gaze. My logic was who else can satire a male gaze except for the nautch girl I was playing in the song or an actor who has a wide experience or wide range of the male gaze? Only a nautch girl or me can satire the male gaze.”<\/p>\n

The actress who made her big digital debut with The Family Man 2<\/i> last year and made headlines for her role as Raji, said, “I didn’t know Raj and DK at all and even Family Man season 1 hadn’t released when I started shooting for season 2.” Speaking of her role, she said, “It was just this cry for a challenge because you know you get typecast with the roles that you are offered in the south, not because of any fault of theirs but directors saw me a certain way, as the bubbly, cute love interest. I was feeling stifled and I really wanted to breakthrough and here there was an opportunity to look at myself through another lens and I grabbed it. It was divine intervention.”<\/p>\n
