The actor, who also has myositis, revealed to the media that she has survived the past eight months thanks to the support of her friends. "I have a lot of love to share. I'm still really affectionate. I have not become cynical and bitter because of one failed relationship," she stated. Samantha further revealed that connecting with her Shaakuntalam character required more than just having a lovely and graceful appearance.
"She appeals to the contemporary woman in me," the actor said while talking about her character in the movie. "She is extremely independent, holds strong convictions, and goes against societal norms. But even at the most challenging times of her journey, she is unfailingly truthful and loving in her devotion," Samantha added.
