Samantha opens up about her battle with illness

Samantha has been away from social media for a few weeks, and a lot of rumours have surfaced about her health. She returned to India and completed the dubbing of her impending release, “Yashoda,” despite reports to the contrary. With the release of the trailer, Sam was finally able to share what she had been experiencing for the last month or so.

She posted a picture of herself on the hospital bed to Instagram. While we can watch the medication being injected through her veins, she is flashing a heart sign. 

“Your response to the Yashodha Trailer was overwhelming. It is this love and connection that I share with all of you, that gives me the strength to deal with the seemingly unending challenges that life throws at me. A few months back I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis.” she wrote.

She also added, “I was hoping to share this after it had gone into remission. But it is taking a little longer than I hoped. I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery. I love you..”

Fans are wishing and praying for her speedy recovery.
