When asked about the remarks made by Minister Konda Surekha, Samantha expressed her gratitude to those who have supported her throughout her career. “I am here today because of the love and trust of many people, especially the industry stalwarts who gave me the courage to face difficulties,” she said.
Regarding online trolling, Samantha shared that she tries not to let negative comments affect her. “I don’t dwell on hate messages. Instead, I wonder if the people who send them feel the same pain,” she remarked.
Thought About Rejecting ‘Citadel’
Samantha also revealed that she initially considered rejecting Citadel: Honey Bunny due to her health issues. “When the directors Raj and DK approached me, I told them I couldn’t do it and even recommended other heroines for the role. But they insisted and waited for me,” she said. Now, after completing the series, she feels fortunate to have taken on the role.
Citadel: Honey Bunny, starring Samantha and Varun Dhawan, premieres on Amazon Prime Video on November 7. Samantha highlighted the intense climax scene, featuring an 11-minute action sequence shot in a single take.
