7 Reasons Why Fans Across India Adore Prabhas
7 Reasons Why Fans Across India Adore Prabhas

Prabhas, fondly called “Darling” by his fans, stands out as one of the few Indian actors with a truly pan-India appeal. While his stardom skyrocketed post-Baahubali, his connection with audiences was always more than just screen presence. Here's a look at seven reasons why fans continue to admire him:
1. Grounded Despite Stardom
Even after headlining one of India’s highest-grossing films, Baahubali 2, Prabhas has maintained a low-key presence off-screen. After Kalki 2898 AD broke non-theatrical business records (reportedly over Rs 1000 crore in satellite, OTT, and other rights), his response was limited to a modest thank-you post. His preference for privacy over publicity has made him even more endearing to fans.
2. Generosity Without Showmanship
Prabhas is known to quietly support causes—contributing to disaster relief funds and offering help during the COVID-19 crisis. He reportedly donated Rs 4 crore across multiple relief efforts in 2020. On film sets, crew members frequently speak of his thoughtful nature—from gifting gold chains post-Baahubali to arranging meals regularly during shoots.
3. Commitment to His Craft
He gave nearly five years of his career solely to the Baahubali franchise, declining several offers in the process. His dedication included extensive physical training, archery practice, and body transformation. For his futuristic role in Kalki 2898 AD, he trained again to embody a character set in a post-apocalyptic world, showing he doesn't shy away from reinvention.
4. Breaking Language Barriers
Prabhas’ transition from a regional icon to a national star wasn’t overnight. Films like Saaho (2019) were designed as multi-language releases, while Radhe Shyam (2022) was simultaneously shot in Hindi and Telugu. His comfort across languages has expanded his fanbase from Hyderabad to Haryana.
5. A Fanbase That Feels Like Family
He doesn’t just acknowledge his fans—he cherishes them. Whether it’s personally replying to fan letters, sending food to fans gathered outside his sets, or simply calling them “Darlings,” the affection is mutual. His fan clubs remain active all year round, organizing charity events and celebrating his film anniversaries.
6. Unique Screen Presence
While action-heavy roles like Baahubali, or Saaho show his rugged side, films like Mr. Perfect or Darling highlights his softer, romantic image. This duality allows fans of different tastes to connect with his work, making his reach far broader than typical genre-specific stars.
7. A Private Yet Powerful Persona
Prabhas rarely gives interviews or shares details of his personal life, and yet, there's constant curiosity about him. This mystery, combined with his selective public appearances, gives him a certain enigma—allowing fans to project their admiration without overexposure.
