“She covers her tears by laughing...Sam we love you,” one fan shared, with another writing, “Her eyes are very much sensitive to light and get teary often .she had said that before in an interview”.

One comment read, “She has lots of pain in her heart, she is a true lover, He didn't deserve her, leave it Sam, live your life”.

One user shared, “Her journey be it film or life... It is full of hurdles but still she made it”.

Samantha sets the record straight

The actor later took to Instagram Stories to clarify all the buzz going around her well-being and the videos claiming that she broke down.

She said, “Thank you guys for a wonderful evening and Vizag, we are all super thrilled at the response and all the love. We are really excited about our film releasing on the 9th. I just want to set the record straight on one thing”.

“I have said this before, but I am forced to say again that my eyes are really sensitive to bright lights and they tend to water, which is why I need to keep wiping them. So there are a lot of posts and articles going around about my emotional well-being, and I just want to make it clear that it has absolutely nothing to do with my emotional state. I am absolutely fine, happy and excited at the moment, so please give it a rest. Let’s not do this all over again,” Samantha added.

Samantha was last seen in the 2023 film Kushi with Vijay Deverakonda and the 2024 Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny with Varun Dhawan.
