Throwback to when Samantha Ruth Prabhu rated Hrithik Roshan a '7' and gave full marks to ex-husband Naga Chaitanya

Throwback Thursdays that age like fine wine with a dash of masala is a pure bliss, and now that we are on it, let’s talk about an old interview of Samantha Ruth Prabhu, that has resurfaced on Reddit and has the internet buzzing—not because of what she wore, but what she dared to say. Turns out, Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan did not exactly get a celestial rating from the actress.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu thinks Hrithik Roshan is just 7 out of 10

In a candid chat from the archives with Sakshi TV, Samantha was asked to rate a bunch of leading male stars based on their looks. While most people consider Hrithik Roshan a walking thirst trap, Samantha did not exactly share the sentiment. She allegedly rated him a “7 on 10,” and even jokingly acknowledged that her opinion might ruffle some feathers.

Samantha was far more generous with the others. Mahesh Babu was declared a straight-up “10 on 10” without a blink. Naga Chaitanya—her ex-husband—also received the coveted perfect score. And when it came to Ranbir Kapoor, Samantha seemed a tad more cautious but still sweet, giving him an “8 on 10.” Shahid Kapoor, interestingly, got a glow-up in her eyes—from a 4 to a 9 post-Kaminey.

Naturally, the clip is now doing the rounds on Reddit, giving netizens plenty to chew on. Some are defending her honesty, others are offended on Hrithik's behalf, and a few are simply living for the chaos.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu on the work front

On the professional front, Samantha’s Citadel: Honey Bunny alongside Varun Dhawan has been officially shelved, but her fans need not worry—she’s now focusing on her period action drama Rakht Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom. As for Hrithik, the superstar is busy shooting for War 2 with Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, with Krrish 4 waiting in the wings.

The irony? While Samantha may have given Hrithik a “meh” on the hotness meter, the internet still refuses to stop calling him the “Greek God.” But hey, taste is subjective… and sometimes, delightfully controversial.
