**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the acclaimed actress known for her role in Amazon Prime Video’s “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” is mourning the loss of her father, Joseph Prabhu, who passed away on Friday.

The actress shared the heartbreaking news on her Instagram stories with a simple message: “Until we meet again, Dad,” accompanied by a broken heart emoji. A statement from her spokesperson confirmed the death and requested privacy for the family during their time of grief.

While the family is grieving, Prabhu’s fans and the media are urged to respect their privacy during this difficult period.
