Earlier, she was in the news for parting ways with Naga Chaitanya. In an interview with Filmfare, Samantha added, “It’s ok if you are having a bad day, vocalize it, understand it, as soon as you accept that you’re going through something half the work is done. It’s when we don’t want to accept it and we are fighting it that it’s a never-ending battle.
“But when you accept when you vocalize ‘this is my issue, so what now? I still have to live my life’. I know I’m still going to live my life and with all the issues that I now face in my personal life, I was surprised at how strong I was.
“I thought I was a much weaker person. I thought that with my separation, I would crumble and die. I didn’t think I was capable of being this strong…Today I’m very very proud of how strong I’m because I really didn’t know I was,” she added.
