Samantha, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myositis in 2022, recently shared that the illness has fundamentally altered her relationship with both work and her own body.

'Everyday I Wake Up & Pray There Is No Trigger'

Speaking to ETimes, Samantha said, "Everyday I wake up and pray that there is no trigger and that I have the energy and strength to shoot through the day. There is this tiny fear about not having enough energy to make it through the day. When I was first offered Maa Inti Bangaram, I was petrified. I didn’t know if I would be able to do it or if my body would allow it. When you have certain restrictions and constraints, you make the most of every single day."
