Chennai: Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has given fans a glimpse into her food preferences during pregnancy, revealing that she has been craving some familiar South Indian comfort food. The actor’s ideal everyday menu includes idli for breakfast, curd rice for lunch and dosa for dinner.
During a recent interaction shared by Sony Vizha, Samantha was asked what she would choose to eat if she had to follow just one menu for the rest of her life. Her response reflected her preference for traditional South Indian dishes, with three popular staples making it to her list.
The actor also suggested that her choices could be influenced by her pregnancy, adding that her cravings might change over time.
Samantha picks idli, curd rice and dosa
In the video, Samantha was asked to name the food she would be happy to eat every day. Without opting for an elaborate menu, she chose three familiar dishes that are widely enjoyed across South India.
Her preferred combination was idli for breakfast, curd rice for lunch and dosa for dinner. The choices brought together a light breakfast, a comforting rice-based meal and a popular dinner favourite.
Samantha was quick to acknowledge that the menu might not remain the same. Explaining her choices, she said, “I think these are my pregnancy cravings speaking, so it might change.”
